James Comey is an American lawyer who served as the 7th director of the 'Federal Bureau of Investigation’ (FBI). His unceremonious removal from the post by President Donald Trump made it to the headlines in 2017. During his tenure as the director of the ‘FBI,’ a number of highly controversial incidents took place, including data leak from the 'United States Office of Personnel Management,' a botched investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails, and the Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. However, before he was voted as the ‘FBI’ director, he had a successful career in the private sector. He had also worked with the 'United States Department of Justice.' He was actively involved in high-profile cases, involving people such as Marc Rich, Martha Stewart, John Rigas, and Frank Quattrone. He has worked with 'Lockheed Martin' and 'HSBC Holdings.' He also teaches law (ethical leadership) at reputed universities.
