Washington • Former FBI Director James Comey spoke to House investigators behind closed doors for almost seven hours Friday, begrudgingly answering questions about the Justice Department’s decisions during the 2016 presidential election.
Comey, who appeared under subpoena, announced after the meeting that he would return for more questioning Dec. 17. Appearing annoyed, he said "we're talking about Hillary Clinton's emails, for heaven's sake, so I'm not sure we needed to do this at all."
A transcript of the interview, expected to be released shortly, "will bore you," Comey said.
Two GOP-led committees brought Comey in as they sought to wrap up a yearlong investigation into the department's decisions in 2016.
