Libby was convicted in 2007 for lying to the FBI and obstructing justice in the investigation over the leaked identity of former CIA agent Valerie Plame.

Multiple people said that Libby had revealed Plame’s identity to them, after he publicly claimed he did not share the information.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper also hit Trump over the attack in a tweet Friday.

Calling @Comey a “proven LEAKER & LIAR” while you’re about to pardon Scooter Libby, who leaked the identity of a covert CIA employee and was convicted for lying about it to the FBI — well, that’s quite a thing. — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) April 13, 2018

Trump lashed out at Comey in a pair of tweets early Friday after several media outlets reported on excerpts of Comey’s upcoming book, "A Higher Loyalty."
