Sessions aide sought damaging info on Comey before his firing: report

Source: The Hill

An aide to Attorney General Jeff Sessions asked a Capitol Hill staffer if they had any damaging information about former FBI Director James Comey just days before his firing, according to a new report.

The New York Times reports that in the days following Comey’s May testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, an aide to Sessions asked a congressional staff member whether they had information on Comey that could be damaging, reportedly in an attempt to undermine Comey.

A person with knowledge of the meeting told the Times that Sessions wanted to see a negative article about Comey every day in the press.

The Justice Department disputed the account of the meeting in a statement to newspaper, saying it “did not happen and would not happen.”

Who thought that anyone could make the Bush Administration seem restrained by comparison?
