Why Did Trump Fire Comey? - FactCheck.org
Trump “took the recommendation of his deputy attorney general, who oversees the FBI director.”
Later in the interview, Cooper said that “a lot of people are … saying it destroys people’s confidence in the FBI” and its ability to investigate whether Trump aides colluded with Russia to interfere in last year’s election. Conway said the firing “had zero to do” with Russia and “everything to do with … Mr. Rosenstein.”
The next morning, on CNN’s “New Day,” Conway repeated the claim: “The president took the advice of the deputy attorney general who oversees the director of the FBI, brought those concerns to the attorney general who brought them to the president. And they made a decision to remove him.”
On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that same morning, White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders echoed the official White House statement and Conway’s remarks when she was asked why Comey was fired.
