Trump’s abrupt decision to fire Comey earlier this week has come under criticism, particularly from Democrats who question why the president removed him in the middle of an FBI investigation into Trump associates’ contacts with Russia.
Trump and O’Donnell have publicly feuded in the past, with Trump making derogatory comments about O’Donnell’s looks and weight.
