One of President Donald Trump\u2019s former lawyers for the Russia probe is accusing former FBI officials of staging a \u201ccoup\u201d by opening a counterintelligence investigation into whether Trump acted as a foreign agent of Russia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our worst nightmare that someone with that kind of power would then decide to go after the president. I mean it\u2019s a coup,\u201d John Dowd told Fox\u2019s Brian Kilmeade in a radio interview<\/a>\u00a0Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what it is an attempted coup by Comey and his crowd,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd the evidence is all over there. I take The New York Times article as an admission of their bad behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dowd, who represented Trump from June 2017 until his resignation on March 22, 2018, was responding to a Times report from Friday that the FBI opened the investigation into Trump in the eight-day window in May 2017 between the firing of James Comey as FBI director and the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel.<\/p>\n
