Joe Manchin claimed Wednesday that fired FBI director James Comey recently sought additional resources for his investigation into Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election.

There are no ethical strictures to stop Comey from telling Congress about his conversations with the president, according to law professor Wright and Eric Columbus, a former senior counsel to the Deputy AG in the Obama administration.
