Born into a family of law enforcers, his father was a councilman, and his grandfather, William J. Comey, an officer and commissioner of the Yonkers Police Department. He spent his early years in Yonkers, but then the whole family moved to Allendale, New Jersey in the ‘70s. James went to Northern Highlands Regional High School, and after matriculation enrolled at the College of William and Mary, graduating with a double major in chemistry and religion in 1982. Following his graduation, James enrolled at the University of Chicago Law School, from which he earned his Juris Doctor degree in 1985.

Soon after receiving his degree, James found a job as a law clerk for John M. Walker in Manhattan, who at the time worked as a US District Judge. After a while, he became an associate for the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, working in their New York office.

Just two years after finishing his law studies, James joined the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, and assumed the position of Deputy Chief of the Criminal Division, remaining in the position until 1993.

He remained out of government until 2013, when the then-president Barack Obama nominated him as the new Director of the FBI. He was selected over Lisa Monaco, and served as the Director of the FBI until May 2017, when President Donald Trump fired him. During his time as the Director, James was involved in several controversies, including the investigation into Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton’s use of private email server, then an investigation into Russian attempts to influence the election.
