FBI Director Kash Patel raged at MSNBC Saturday over its reporting on his agency's alleged desired handling of the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. Comey was indicted by a grand jury last week for perjury and obstruction stemming from his 2020 testimony to Congress. Patel's vitriol was piqued after MSNBC's Jesse Rodriguez posted to X, MSNBC confirms: An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey.

Donald Trump's public and private push to have ex-FBI director James Comey indicted on criminal charges is a strong sign of the US slipping into authoritarianism, but it could also taint the case's chances of success because it is evidence of a selective and biased political prosecution, ex-prosecutors and scholars say. Trump's retribution drive against an old foe he blames for legal and political problems notched a big win when Comey was indicted last week on two criminal counts in Virginia.
Trump wants to rewrite history so that the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection, refused to peacefully transfer the power of the presidency after losing an election, stole classified documents and showed them to friends and guests at Mar-a-Lago, and that he was a criminal, Cobb said. He's a convicted felon. All, anybody involved in those events that offended him, they're in real danger.
Revenge, retribution, accountability who cares? said Watters in response to the argument that President Donald Trump is using these charges as personal revenge against Comey for the FBI's investigation into potential ties between Russia and his 2016 presidential campaign. It's happening and I'm enjoying it. It is an eye for an eye, and I hope we win, continued Watters.
I think we have maybe a deal on Gaza, very close to a deal in Gaza, Trump said before calling on reporters. I think it's a deal that we'll get the hostages back. It's going to be a deal that will end the war. It's gonna be a deal withit's gonna be peace. I think we have a deal. That'll be number eight, Peter, Trump said, directing his remarks to Fox News's Peter Doocy.
President Donald Trump's Department of Justice may not be done carrying out his retribution campaign after securing an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey on Thursday. Leaders within the DOJ are now targeting ex-Trump adviser and now-frequent critic John Bolton, CNN has reported, citing two sources within the department. DOJ prosecutors believe they could bring a stronger case against Bolton by the end of the year, the network reported.
