May 10, 2017 by Delia Innoma 0 Comments

Donald Trump fired James Comey, the FBI director, on Tuesday evening over his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails.

The US president said in a letter to Mr Comey that he was “not able to effectively lead the bureau”.

The Trump campaign is currently being investigated by the FBI over allegations that it colluded with Russia to influence the outcome of the election.

“The president has accepted the recommendation of the attorney general and the deputy attorney general regarding the dismissal of the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” Sean Spicer, the White House spokesman, said in a statement.

“The FBI is one of our nation’s most cherished and respected institutions and today will mark a new beginning for our crown jewel of law enforcement.”

A search for a new permanent FBI director will begin immediately, Spicer said.
