Jim Comey

Jim Comey is an American lawyer who served as the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from 2013 to 2017. In this role, he was responsible for overseeing federal criminal investigations, counterterrorism, and national security efforts. His tenure was marked by efforts to combat cybercrime and terrorism, as well as controversial decisions, such as revealing investigations into Hillary Clinton’s emails shortly before the 2016 election. Comey’s leadership ended when he was dismissed by President Donald Trump, an event that drew significant public and political attention, raising questions about independence and the FBI’s role in politics.
