James Comey calls Durham report a 'nothingburger' in KTLA interview

Former FBI Director James Comey didn't mince words in his reaction to a special counsel's report on the FBI investigation into Donald Trump's 2016 campaign."There’s nothing new in that report about the FBI. No new facts," Comey told KTLA 5 Morning News anchor Frank Buckley.

SAN FRANCISCO — Giants manager Gabe Kapler keeps the wet bar in his office well-stocked. An array of mostly dark liquors line the metal shelves of the bar cart, its total value approaching a modest annual salary, but one bottle holds a special meaning.On Tuesday, it was about time to crack it open.“Today’s the day,” Giants reliever Luke Jackson said, smiling.After signing a two-year, $11.5 million free-agent deal this offseason, Jackson arrived at spring training bearing a gift for his new manager.

You can open it now. I don’t really care.’ He was like, ‘...
