James Comey | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

A CBS mini series based on former FBI Director James Comey‘s book “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership” is in the works and we now know the actors set to play the title roles.

Jeff Daniels is set to take on the role of Comey, while Brendan Gleeson will portray President Donald Trump.

“Jeff is so perfect for this part. Great actor, instant integrity, loads of warmth, intelligence, complexity and gravitas. We talked backstage after I saw him in ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ on Broadway, and I knew I was looking at the only person who could play Jim Comey. Lucky for me, he said yes,” screenwriter Billy Ray told Variety of Jeff’s casting.

“It’s hard to imagine a bigger acting challenge than playing Donald Trump,” Ray said of Gleeson. “You have to have presence, and a singular kind of dynamism. You also have to have the courage and the will to play Trump’s psychology from the inside out. Oh, and you have to be spectacularly talented and watchable. Not many actors check all those boxes. Brendan does. I’m ecstatic about this.”

No air date is currently set, but the show will begin production on the four-hour mini-series in November.

Former Director of the FBI James Comey is currently testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee to talk about the investigation into Donald Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.

Some important tidbits that have come up so far include: James speaking about Trump asking for “loyalty” during the one-on-one meetings he had with president. He also said he has no doubts Russia interfered with the U.S. election, but has not been providing details due to the classified nature of the issue.

James then spoke about how he kept records of his meetings with Trump. It’s important to note that he never kept records of any meeting with any past President he has ever dealt with. “I was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting,” he said.

Celebrities are watching the testimony live, and tweeting their thoughts.

Hillary Clinton is placing the blame on her loss in the presidential election on FBI director James Comey.

The Democratic nominee had a conference call with donors on Saturday (November 12) and said that resurfaced suspicion of her emails barred any positive movement in her campaign.

“There are lots of reasons why an election like this is not successful,” Hillary said on the call, a donor told The New York Times. “Our analysis is that Comey‘s letter raising doubts that were groundless, baseless, proven to be, stopped our momentum.”

Comey sent a letter to Congress days before the election announcing that he was looking into the email server once again. Two days before the election, Hillary was once again cleared by the FBI, but she says this letter was even more damaging.
