'I wanted a woman president really badly, and I supported Hillary Clinton,' she told ABC's George Stephanopoulos in a brief clip concluded in the prime-time piece on her husband's first interview since President Trump fired him.

'Oh yeah,' Comey said, asked about his wife's support for Clinton. 'I didn't take a poll among all the kids, but I'm pretty sure that at least my four daughters, probably all five of my kids, wanted Hillary Clinton to be the first woman president.'
'I know my amazing spouse did. My wife and girls marched in the women's march the day after President Trump's inauguration,' he said.
