The father of former FBI Director James Comey says his son was fired because President Donald Trump was "scared to death of him."

In a phone interview with CNN on Saturday, J. Brien Comey called his son's firing last week "a Trump deal."

"[Comey] didn't give him 100% loyalty, and he demands that of people who work with him," the 86-year-old said. "[Comey] said he would give 100% honesty, but not loyalty."

Comey said his son, whom he described as a "straightforward and honest guy," was fired "because Jim tells the truth, (while) Trump runs around lying most of the day."

May favorite statement by Comey's dad about Trump: "I think the man should be in a home quite honestly, he's crazy as a hoot."

4. It's not helpful to turn this into a public soap opera prior to Comey's testimony.

But the man is his Dad, so I'm sure he is forgiven.
