James Comey publicly called the President Trump a liar...

 Ousted FBI director James Comey  on June 8, 2017 revealed before the Senate Intelligence Committee why he documented his meetings with President Trump.
"I was honestly concerned he might lie about the nature of our meeting, so I thought it was really important to document," Comey said when asked why he wrote accounts of his encounters with Trump as soon as they were over, something he hadn't done after meetings with George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Indeed, after Trump fired him last month, Comey said, the president offered shifting explanations that "were lies, plain and simple."
Comey didn't emerge unscathed from his testimony. He said he decided to arrange the leak of the Flynn story after Trump had tweeted that "James Comey better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversation before he starts leaking to the press!"

 Khuram Shazad Butt, 27, a British citizen born in Pakistan along with Rachid Redouane, 30, who had claimed to be Moroccan and Libyan and one other assailant  rammed a rented van into pedestrians on London Bridge.
