Dan Abrams: ‘I Don’t Believe’ Trump Claim Comey Told Him He Wasn’t Under Investigation

‘He’s too careful to say “you’re not under investigation” in connection with something that they are investigating more broadly’

Dan Abrams: ‘I Don’t Believe’ Trump Claim That Comey Told Him He Wasn’t Under Investigation (Mediaite)

On Good Morning America, Friday Robin Roberts had ABC News Chief Legal Analyst and Mediaite founder Dan Abrams pick apart President Donald Trump’s claim that former FBI director James Comey told the president three times that he was not the target of an investigation.

Abrams first noted that “federal prosecutors do tell people, their lawyers as well, ‘you’re not the target of the investigation’. That does happen, all the time.”

Yet Abrams was incredulous that Comey would tell Trump he was not the subject of an ongoing investigation looking at his own election campaign, noting that the subject of an active investigation can change.
