Comey: Trump administration defamed me and the FBI

Former FBI director delivers opening remarks to Senate Intelligence Committee

Former FBI Director James Comey began his much-anticipated congressional testimony Thursday before the Senate intelligence committee.

His remarks are his first public statements since his firing on May 9, which came as he was leading an FBI investigation into potential coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign.

Hollywood stars took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
