Letters of President Trump and Attorney General Sessions, and Memorandum of Assistant AG Rosenstein Concerning the Termination of James Comey as Head of the FBI

Excerpt (President Trump):  “I have received the attached letters from the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General of the United States recommending your dismissal as the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I have accepted their recommendation and you are hereby terminated and removed from office, effective immediately.  While I greatly appreciate your informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau.  It is essential that we find new leadership for the FBI that restores public trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission.”
