A close confidant and longtime friend of James Comey confirmed the account’s true identity on twitter, saying “Ok, in light of this latest tweet, I will confirm that @FormerBu is, in fact, James Comey himself.”

Clinton cites the public announcement as a key factor in her stunning defeat to then-Candidate Donald Trump last fall, accusing the FBI director of “shivving” her just days before voters went to the polls.
