Former FBI Director James Comey’s book sold more than “600,000 copies in all formats during its first week on sale,” according to The New York Times. The impressive sales of A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership surpassed the first week sales of both Hillary Clinton’s What Happened and Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury—which sold 300,000 and 200,000 copies, respectively. Comey’s publisher claims that they have ordered multiple reprints of the book, which currently has “more than a million copies in print,” the Times reported. This comes after Comey went on a media blitz around the book’s release, interviewing with George Stephanopoulos and appearing on shows like The View.
