Former President Donald Trump said in his latest Fox News interview that he might not have “survived” the four years of his presidency if he hadn’t fired then-FBI director James Comey.

“If I didn’t fire Comey, they were looking to take down the President of the United States. If I didn’t fire him… Some people said, ‘He made a mistake when he fired Comey.’ Now those same people said it was the most incredible, instinctual move they’ve ever seen,” he told host Mark Levin, adding that he had entered a “hornet’s nest” that he attributed to the existence of a “deep state.”
