Comey’s remarks came during his time at a CNN town hall. During this time, the former FBI director faced a question about claims that Trump’s status as president shielded him from obstruction of justice charges.
At this point, Comey affirmed that he agrees with the aforementioned assertions regarding Trump. The former FBI director then followed up with the following explanation:
“[Mueller] was trying to do something principled and fair; I can tell you from personal experience that sometimes when you try to do that, people misunderstand you. He said, I can’t indict the president because of Department of Justice policy and given that, it would be unfair to accuse him of a crime in a document when he can’t vindicate himself in a trial.”
