Trump v Comey: a timeline of the president and ex-FBI director’s feud

A grand jury indicted James Comey for obstructing a congressional proceeding in a culmination of a years-long conflict

The relationship between Donald Trump and James Comey has spanned a turbulent decade, beginning during the 2016 presidential campaign and continuing into Trump's second presidency with a grand jury indicting the former FBI director on Thursday..

Comey oversaw inquiries that directly intersected with Trump's political goals, first into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, and later into possible connections between the Trump campaign and Russia. Trump alternately criticized and praised Comey's actions during the 2016 race, but once in office their exchanges grew increasingly tense, leading up to Comey's dismissal in May 2017.
