‘Enormous mistake’: Ex-FBI director James Comey reflects on Trump’s America

James Comey served as FBI director from 2013 until 2017.

He was fired by US President Donald Trump soon after he took office for refusing to pledge his loyalty at a private dinner.

Since Trump’s return to power, Comey has been the target of Department of Justice investigations and was recently charged with criminal offences for a third time.

Ahead of the US midterm elections, Comey told Four Corners reporter Mark Willacy Trump’s second term is “worse in almost every conceivable way”.

This extended interview explores Comey’s relationship with the US president and what America could look like after Trump.
