WASHINGTON - President Trump on Sunday accused former FBI Director James Comey of lying to Congress during Comey’s closed-door appearance with lawmakers last Friday.

“Leakin’ James Comey must have set a record for who lied the most to Congress in one day. His Friday testimony was so untruthful!” the president said on Twitter.

“This whole deal is a Rigged Fraud headed up by dishonest people who would do anything so that I could not become President. They are now exposed!” Trump tweeted.

GOP lawmakers called Mr. Comey to testify Friday about the FBI’s decisions during the 2016 campaign.

Comey said that an FBI counterintelligence investigation initially started as a probe into four Americans and whether or not they were a part of the Russian effort to interfere in the 2016 election - not into Mr. Trump or his campaign, the Washington Times reported.
