Congressman Jim Banks (IN-03) today released the following statement regarding the firing of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey:

"The leader of our nation's top law-enforcement agency must have the trust of the American people. Through a variety of questionable decisions, Director Comey lost the trust of both Republicans and Democrats.

"While President Trump must explain the rationale behind this decision, he now has the opportunity to name a new FBI director who is both widely respected and non-partisan. It also is important that Congressional and FBI investigations into Russia's interference in the 2016 election continue without interruption."
