Trump blasts Comey as 'dirty cop' as case goes to Biden-appointed judge

President Donald Trump on Friday blasted former FBI Director James Comey as a "dirty cop," and said that his case was assigned to a Biden-appointed judge.

Comey was indicted by a federal grand jury in Virginia on Thursday over allegations by the Justice Department that he made false statements to Congress when he denied leaking information to the media and for alleged obstruction of justice.

In a video posted after the indictment, Comey said that he is innocent and not afraid of a trial.

Trump posted on Truth Social, saying Comey lied.

"Whether you like Corrupt James Comey or not, and I can’t imagine too many people liking him, HE LIED! It is not a complex lie, it’s a very simple, but IMPORTANT one. There is no way he can explain his way out of it," Trump wrote.

"He is a Dirty Cop, and always has been, but he was just assigned a Crooked Joe Biden appointed Judge, so he’s off to a very good start. Nevertheless, words are words, and he wasn’t hedging or in dispute," he added. "He was very positive, there was no doubt in his mind about what he said, or meant by saying it. He left himself ZERO margin of error on a big and important answer to a question. He just got unexpectedly caught. James 'Dirty Cop' Comey was a destroyer of lives. He knew exactly what he was saying, and that it was a very serious and far reaching lie for which a very big price must be paid! President DJT."
