Comey is also somewhat notorious for his role in the investigation of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

The resulting book “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership” was released in 2018.Early Life and EducationJames Comey was born on December 14, 1960 in Yonkers, New York to Joan and J. Brien. In the early 70s, the family moved to Allendale, New Jersey, where Comey’s father did corporate real estate and his mother worked as a computer consultant. As a teenager, Comey went to Northern Highlands Regional High School. He went on to attend the College of William & Mary, from which he graduated in 1982. Comey subsequently enrolled at the University of Chicago Law School, earning his JD in 1985.Career BeginningsFollowing his graduation from law school, Comey worked in Manhattan as a law clerk for US district judge John M.

In late 2003, Comey became deputy attorney general. He drew some controversy during his years in this position, particularly for his evasiveness in regard to Bush’s domestic surveillance program and for his endorsement of a memorandum approving the use of torture by the CIA. However, Comey objected to a second memorandum and later voiced his opposition to torture techniques.Private Sector WorkAfter leaving the Department of Justice in the summer of 2005, Comey became the senior vice president and general counsel at Lockheed Martin.

A year later, Comey announced that the FBI would not be recommending criminal charges to the Department of Justice related to Clinton’s emails. However, less than two weeks before the 2016 presidential election in which Clinton was running, Comey decided to reopen the investigation due to new information. This decision was roundly decried by those on both sides of the political aisle, with many averring it cost Clinton the presidency. In 2017, a number of investigations were launched into Comey and the FBI’s actions related to Clinton.Comey and the FBI’s other major investigation was of Russian interference in the 2016 election, and of the Trump administration’s complicity in it.
