New York Daily News on Trump: ‘LIAR’
The New York Daily News is slamming President Trump as a “liar” on its front page after fired FBI Director James Comey said the Trump administration lied about him and his former agency.
The tabloid’s front page Friday will feature a close-up of Trump’s face with the word “LIAR” emblazoned across the center of the image.

Comey said during his hearing Thursday that the Trump administration tried to use “lies” to undermine him and the FBI, leading him to write memos after each time he and Trump spoke to create a record of the conversations.
“The administration chose to defame me and, more importantly, the FBI by saying that the organization was in disarray, that it was poorly run,” Comey said. “Those were lies, plain and simple.”
He also refuted some of Trump’s statements, like that he never asked Comey to stop the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders fired back at Comey’s testimony, saying that Trump “is not a liar.”
The Daily News, which endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, often criticizes Trump. The paper called for Trump to drop out of the race in August after he made a comment about “Second Amendment people” being able to stop Clinton, and has depicted Trump as a clown.
