"CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins confronted President Donald Trump to his face about the potential for his frequent rants to torpedo the case against former FBI Director James Comey. After Trump publicly pressured Attorney General Pam Bondi this week to go after a list of enemies in a DM-style Truth Social post and again in remarks to reporters, the Comey indictment dropped on Thursday, with a defiant Comey pledging to fight it out in court."
"COLLINS: Obviously, after his indictment. Are you worried that your own statements, calling for his prosecution, could help him actually, in his defense of this case? TRUMP: No. I think he's a crooked guy. He's a dirty cop. Comey, I think he's a dirty cop. He's recognized by many people to be a dirty cop and dishonest guy. So, all I have to do is I mean, I have nothing to do with the case. I just say, Good luck."
President Donald Trump publicly urged action against James Comey, including pressing Attorney General Pam Bondi via Truth Social and remarks to reporters. Comey was indicted and pledged to fight the charges in court. Legal experts warned that repeated public attacks and calls for prosecution could be used to support a malicious prosecution claim in Comey's defense. CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins asked Trump whether his statements might help Comey, and Trump denied involvement in the case while calling Comey crooked and dishonest and saying he was entitled to voice his opinion.
