Article snippet: For the first time since he was fired by President Trump, Hillary Clinton’s private email server. However, Trump later admitted he was thinking of “this Russia thing” when Comey was fired, referring to the Russian investigation that Comey was overseeing. Comey, who served as director of the FBI from 2013 to 2017, has been involved in some of the most consequential cases and policies of recent history -- from prosecuting Martha Stewart and mafia kingpins to overseeing Hillary Clinton’s email investigation and the alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. In “A Higher Loyalty,” Comey shares as-yet-unheard anecdotes about some of the highest-stakes situations in the past two decades of American government -- including the 2016 presidential campaign and his ultimate firing -- and describes how his core beliefs shaped his decisions. Last week, Comey tweeted out a picture of him taping the audiobook, with the caption, “Lordy, this time there will be a tape. Audio book almost finished.” In addition to the primetime special on April 15, excerpts from the exclusive interview with Stephanopoulos will air on all ABC News broadcasts, including David Muir, Nightline, and This Week with George Stephanopoulos, as well as ABC News Radio and ABCNews.com.
