«Breaking News» James Comey suspected Rudy Giuliani was leaking FBI information to media during 2016 campaign

Former FBI director James Comey was concerned the New York field office of the bureau had leaked information to Rudy Giuliani, a supporter of Donald Trump, during the 2016 campaign and he ordered an investigation of the matter.

Comey's concern was revealed in his testimony on Friday to House investigators on the Judiciary and Oversight Committees.

He told lawmakers he ordered a probe after Giuliani made public statements that indicated he had inside knowledge of the FBI investigation into whether Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information with her private email server. 

James Comey said he was worried Rudy Giuliani was receiving and leaking information from FBI's New York field office during the 2016 campaign

Rudy Giuliani has previously denied receiving leaked information from the FBI

'I was concerned that there appeared to be in the media a number of stories that might have been based on communications reporters or non-reporters like Rudy Giuliani were having with people in the New York field office,' he said according to a transcript that was released, The Wall Street Journal reported.

'Mr. Giuliani was making statements that appeared to be based on his knowledge of workings inside the FBI New York,' Comey noted. 'And then my recollection is there were other stories that were in the same ballpark that gave me a general concern that we may have a leak problem - unauthorized disclosure problem out of New York, and so I asked that it be investigated.' 

This is not the first time Giuliani has been asked if he received leaks from the bureau, which he has denied.

But the remarks are the strongest from Comey to date indicating he was suspicious of the former mayor of New York City, who was close to a number of agents in the New York office dating from his role as former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

'Did I get any leaks from the FBI? I said no,' Giuliani told the Huffington Post in June.

He also told the publication FBI agents interviewed him earlier in the year regarding his 2016 remarks predicting a 'surprise' in the closing days of the presidential race that would benefit Trump. 

Giuliani was a top adviser to Trump's presidential campaign during 2016, 

He said the 'surprise' that he predicted was a 20-minute national television ad he was urging Trump to buy to deliver a speech 'hitting very hard on the Comey decision.' 

Comey had recommended Clinton not be prosecuted for having a private email server. However, the then-FBI director delivered a bombshell a few weeks before the election when he announced his agents were taking another look at her email use.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
