James Comey
James Comey served as Director of the FBI from 2013 to 2017, becoming a controversial figure in American politics.
His July 2016 announcement that Hillary Clinton would not be charged over her email server, followed by his October letter reopening the investigation days before the election, drew criticism from both parties.
President Trump fired him in May 2017, an act that helped trigger the Mueller investigation into Russian interference.
