HILLARY CLINTON/JAMES COMEY/MEDIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “In her first public appearance since James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, began his book tour, Hillary Clinton made only a glancing reference to him in a speech on Sunday [4-22-18] night and instead focused most of her attacks on President Trump, once again likening him to authoritarians. Mrs. Clinton gave the Arthur Miller Freedom to Write Lecture at PEN America’s World Voices Festival in New York City. She spoke at length about threats to journalists around the world before turning her attention to domestic matters. She criticized Mr. Trump, not so subtly comparing him to authoritarian leaders who had suppressed journalism in their countries.”
