Donald Trump Shares 2019 Flashbacks, Asks ‘Why Wasn’t James Comey Raided’ For Having FBI Files at His House

Former President and 2024 Presidential candidate Donald Trump today shared a flashback article and an OIG report from 2019 regarding former FBI Director James Comey in Truth Social posts.

In one pair of posts, Trump asked, “WHY WASN’T JAMES COMEY RAIDED? FLASHBACK: 2019”

Trump shared the OIG report and a quote from the report that said, “Comey told the OIG that, when he was removed as FBI Director, he had four memos—Memo 2, Memo 4, Memo 6, and Memo 7—in his personal safe at home.”

“He stated that he did not notify anyone at the FBI that he had retained these documents.”

“He told the OIG that he had ‘had them there for quite a while,’ and that because he viewed them as personal documents, like his will or his passport, it ‘never would’ve occurred to [him]’ to give those back to the FBI.”

“He also stated that he did not seek permission of the FBI to retain these Memos, because he did not consider them to be FBI records.”

In another pair of posts, Trump shared a flashback article from Judicial Watch and quoted parts of the article and shared a quote from Tom Fitton.

“In June, 2017, a month after FBI Director James Comey was fired by President Donald Trump, FBI agents visited his home and collected ‘as evidence’ four memos that allegedly detail conversations he had with President Trump.”

“Comey recalled writing two other memos after conversations with Trump that he claimed were ‘missing’.”

“‘FBI docs further confirm that James Comey should never have had FBI files on President Trump at his home and that the FBI failed to secure and protect these private and classified files,’ stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.”
