>> does the president still have the full confidence in fbi director james comey? >> i have no reason to believe -- i have not asked him. i have not asked the president since the last time we spoke about it. >> last time he did have confidence but youre not sure. >> i dont want to start speaking on behalf of the president without speaking to him first. you and that is one way to answer it. sean spicer at 2:00. democrats pounced with a familiar line. this is senator leahy.

State senate seat in virginia. receiving money from democrats. the fbi said it was not a conflict, former agent said it was more evidence of a broken culture with special rules for comey and fbi senior leadership. the justice department inspector generals investigation into the clinton email probe was expected to be deeply negative for comey and his old boss, loretta lynch. comey supporters say lynch box to mid last year after meeting with bill clinton just one week before hillary clintons fbi i...
