President Trump calls for prosecuting ex-FBI chief James Comey for having 'lied'

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump accused Friday the FBI director he fired, James Comey, of leaking classified information, saying he should be prosecuted for lying to Congress under oath.

"James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did-until he was, in fact, fired," Trump wrote in a Twitter tirade.

"He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH."
