President Donald Trump slammed James Comey, saying the "shady" former FBI director is making lots of money from "a third-rate book that should never have been written."
Trump's comments came in an early morning tweet on Friday. He also questioned why former national security adviser Michael Flynn's "life can be totally destroyed" while Comey can "leak and lie."
Comey is currently promoting his memoir, "A Higher Loyalty."
On Thursday night, Trump had tweeted that memos by Comey show "clearly there was no collusion and no obstruction."
And, in obvious reference to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, he asked: "Will the witch hunt continue?"
The Thursday night tweet came after news organizations disclosed the contents of the memos Comey provided to the Justice Department. The 15 pages of leaked documents contained new details about Comey's dealings with Trump.
