Comey
James Comey served as FBI Director from 2013 to 2017, becoming a central figure in American political controversy.
His handling of investigations into Hillary Clinton's emails and Russian election interference drew criticism from both parties.
President Trump fired him in May 2017, an act that prompted the Mueller investigation into possible obstruction of justice.
