Washington • White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Monday that President Donald Trump is perplexed that fired FBI director James Comey is receiving so much attention for what she characterized as a “revisionist” version of his limited interactions with her boss.
“The president is very confounded that this person is always able to divert the spotlight to him,” Conway said during an appearance on “Good Morning America” on ABC. “He was a very deft way of making things about him.”
Her comments came the morning after Comey, in his first televised interview since being fired last year, said that he believed Trump was “morally unfit” to be president and recounted several meetings with the him, including one in which Comey says Trump asked for his loyalty.
