Bernie Sanders responds to Comey testimony: 'Donald Trump is a blatant liar'
Excerpts:
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders says that details surrounding Donald Trump’s alleged attempts to derail an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign are deeply concerning, and that most people are likely to agree with former FBI Director James Comey that the President is a liar.
“Remarkably, Mr Comey said President Trump is a liar. He said his concern that Trump would lie about their meetings was why he detailed their encounters in writing”, Sanders said. “He also accused the president of spreading ‘lies, plain and simple’ about the FBI that ‘defamed’ Comey and the agency.”
Following Mr Comey’s remarks on Capitol Hill questioning the President’s honesty, the White House denied he was a liar. Mr Sanders didn't agree.
“Unfortunately, most people would agree with Mr Comey”, he said. “On issue after issue after issue, Trump has blatantly lied. Dangerously, this diminishes the office of the president and our standing in the world.”
