00:00When I was appointed FBI director in 2013, I understood that I served at the pleasure
00:06of the president.
00:07And although the law required no reason at all to fire an FBI director, the administration
00:12then chose to defame me, and more importantly, the FBI, by saying that the organization was
00:19in disarray, that it was poorly led, that the workforce had lost confidence in its leader.
00:27Those were lies, plain and simple.
00:30And I am so sorry that the FBI workforce had to hear them, and I'm so sorry that the American
00:35people were told them.
