Chicago Tribune was another Mainstream outlet that peddled this misleading NY Times “report.” This report admits “It is not yet known what became of Mr. Comey’s request, or what role — if any — it played in his firing.”
Sarah Flores, DOJ spokeswoman said: “the idea that he asked for more funding” for the Russia inquiry was “totally false.”
Furthermore, Ian Prior, a spokesman for the Department of Justice at the time, described the reports that Comey had sought additional resources as “totally false”, according to The Washington Examiner.
