Burr 'Troubled' By Firing Of Comey

North Carolina Senator Richard Burr has weighed in on President Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey.

Burr, a Republican, is the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Burr released a statement saying he is “troubled by the timing and reasoning of Director Comey's termination.” Burr called Comey a “public servant of the highest order,” and says his dismissal “further confuses an already difficult investigation by the Committee.”

The Senate Intelligence Committee has been investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
