TheDCNF Files Lawsuit To Disclose Comey And Obama Meetings

• The Daily Caller News Foundation and Judicial Watch will file a federal lawsuit Wednesday
• The lawsuit is seeking records related to meetings between former FBI Director James Comey and former President Barack Obama
• Comey’s statements regarding times he met with the president conflict with other statements and records

The request by the two organizations was filed because the former FBI director claimed he rarely met with Obama, and he was an independent and nonpartisan leader of the nation’s top law enforcement agency.
