ABC’s The View took an unexpected turn Thursday when co-host Joy Behar said she agreed with President Donald Trump’s view that former FBI Director James Comey may have broken the law.
Her comments came just hours before the Justice Department announced that a grand jury had returned an indictment of Comey.
Trump has repeatedly called in recent days for the Justice Department to prosecute Comey over his role in the origins of the Russia investigation. On Wednesday, officials close to the administration said authorities were preparing charges.
Behar said she believed Trump “has a point” but tempered her remarks with caution, noting that she also distrusted Comey for reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails just 11 days before the 2016 election.
