WASHINGTON DC- JUNE 08 Former FBI Director James Comey testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee in the Hart Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill
"Astonished by the all-out assault on Comey by Team Clinton", Conway wrote. He may be a witness for any charges of obstruction of justice under consideration by US Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating connections between Trump's campaign and Russian Federation. Comey compares his interactions with Trump to his days prosecuting organized crime leaders: "As I found myself thrust into the Trump orbit, I once again was having flashbacks to my earlier career as a prosecutor against the Mob".
But the president also tweeted: "Attorney client privilege is now a thing of the past", referring to the Federal Bureau of Investigation raid last week on his personal attorney, Michael Cohen. "He strikes me as a person of above average intelligence who's tracking conversations and knows what's going on". "These are more words I never thought I'd utter about a president of the United States, but it's possible".
Comey's book, "A Higher Loyalty", will be released on Tuesday.
The president added that "attorney-client privilege is dead" and that the raid was "an attack on our country, in a true sense, it's an attack on what we all stand for".
Comey's remarks, coupled with the coming release of his book, offer his version of events surrounding his firing and the investigations into Russian election meddling and Hillary Clinton's practices.
'I find it hard to believe that Bill Clinton would've tried to obstruct justice by walking across the tarmac in front of.in front of a bunch of F.B.I. agents up the stairs and onto an F.B.I. plane, ' said Comey. "My loyalty's supposed to be to the American people and to the institution", Mr Comey said in the interview. "If he really felt that Trump was unfit - morally unfit, he had an opportunity".
The president said he "stupidly" handled a probe into Trump's 2016 election rival Hillary Clinton and how she used a private email server during her time as secretary of state.

But Trump said in a tweet before the interview aired that he never asked for personal loyalty. He considered that "the most important thing" in a president is that he tell the truth and that Trump "is not qualified for that".
Comey said he had no choice because that's where the investigation led them. He said that Trump asked everyone to leave after a security briefing, leaving him and the president alone.
Clinton has asserted that she would have been elected president if Comey hadn't re-opened the investigation.
And - and I remember thinking, "Well, should I say that, 'As I understand the activity, sir, it doesn't require an overnight stay". I hardly even knew this guy.
Mr Trump told Mr Comey that he had not stayed overnight in the Moscow hotel and that the claims related to the prostitutes were not true, Mr Comey said.
Former FBI director James Comey appeared on CBS' The Late Show With Stephen Colbert onTuesday night to promote his new autobiography, A Higher Loyalty.
