FBI Director James Comey

Washington, May 11 (RHC)-- More details are coming to light about U.S.  President Donald Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey.  The New York Times is reporting Comey’s dismissal came just days after he asked the Justice Department for more resources to expand the bureau’s investigation into Russia’s alleged meddling in the U.S. presidential elections. 

James Comey made the appeal to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein -- the same official who wrote the memo that Donald Trump later used to justify Comey’s firing. 

Meanwhile, The Washington Post reports Rosenstein has threatened to resign after the White House cast him as the main instigator in the firing of Comey.
