As first reported by Breitbart News, Cotton sent a letter on Friday to Patel asking him to review all FBI actions “in which former Director James Comey was personally involved.”
Cotton’s letter went on to note that Comey has “politicized investigations, been at the center of leaks, and obviously shown bias against the Trump administration and supporters.” The Arkansas Republican then brought up Trump’s own response to Comey’s initial post, in which he said “86 47” was a call for “an assassination.”
