Here’s a summary of the reaction of Brooklyn lawmakers to the sudden and shocking firing of FBI Director James Comey by President Donald Trump that took place on Tuesday:
U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-Upper West Side-parts of Bay Ridge-Bensonhurst): “We are now careening towards a constitutional crisis in our country with the Administration systematically attacking all of the institutions that are meant to put a check on the power of the President.”
U.S. Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-Central Brooklyn) made her feelings known on twitter. “We need to know the truth. Americans want to know about @realDonaldTrump‘s connections to Russian agents,” she tweeted.
