James Comey was the 7th Director of the FBI from 2013 until his dismissal by President Donald Trump in 2017.

As head of the FBI he opened the investigation into Hilary Clinton's emails on the eve of the US election which many believed aided Donald Trump's rise to power.

Comey and Trump would clash during his time in office which he has written about in his new book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership.
