The president demanded that Bondi pursue legal action against political adversaries including James Comey, a former FBI Director, and Letitia James, the New York attorney general, whose name he misspelled as Leticia.

The president recalled that Kirk had said he wanted his ideological opponents to know he loved them. That's where I disagreed with Charlie, he said.
