James Comey
James Brien Comey Jr. is an American lawyer and former federal prosecutor who served as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and as Deputy Attorney General under President George W. Bush, before being appointed by President Obama as the seventh Director of the FBI. His tenure was marked by high-profile decisions—most notably his public handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation and his May 2017 dismissal by President Donald Trump—which sparked national debate over the independence and political accountability of the FBI.
