Trump answers whether Comey indictment is about justice or revenge

President Donald Trump told reporters Friday that the indictment against former FBI Director James Comey is about pursuing long-standing corruption.

"It's about justice really, it's not revenge," Trump said. "It's also about the fact that you can't let this go on. They are sick, radical left people, and they can't get away with it and Comey was one of the people."

"He wasn't the biggest, but he's a dirty cop," Trump added. "He's always been a dirty cop. Everybody knew it."
