US President Donald Trump has dismissed FBI director James Comey, White House says, the BBC reports.

“Today, President Donald J Trump informed FBI Director James Comey that he has been terminated and removed from office,” said a White House statement.

The surprise move comes after it emerged Mr Comey gave inaccurate information about Hillary Clinton’s emails to Congress last week.

Mrs Clinton has blamed Mr Comey for her election defeat to Donald Trump.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
