Trump said he was not aware of new allegations against former FBI Director Comey Trump said he was not aware of the Justice Department's new allegations against former FBI Director James Comey. "I just heard about it. I think he's a dirty cop, but I don't know anything about it," he told reporters. The Justice Department accuses Comey of illegally transferring information related to national defense and conspiring to do so. Comey has maintained his innocence. The Trump administration previously tried to impeach Comey for testifying in Congress about alleged Russian interference, but failed due to irregularities in the appointment of a prosecutor. Comey was also accused of calling for the assassination of Trump over pictures of seashells in the shape of the number 8647. He said he just caught them on the beach.
