White House aide Kellyanne Conway on Wednesday said it is “inappropriate” to raise questions about the timing of President Trump’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey.
“You want to question the timing of when he fires? When he hires? It’s inappropriate,” she said during a heated interview on CNN’s “New Day.”
“He’ll do it when he wants to, just like he fired FBI Director Comey when he was faced with evidence that was unignorable.”
During the interview, CNN’s Chris Cuomo said the administration doesn’t have anybody in line to replace Comey.
“You don’t know that,” Conway said.
Conway said it’s up to the president when he announces a new FBI director. She declined to answer whether the president has someone lined up for the role.
“The president of the United States confers with his team on any number of personnel decisions,” she said, “and it’s up to him to have the timing.”
