In a new documentary delving into the life and legacy of Martha Stewart, the homemaking master takes a swing at former FBI Director James Comey.
Her comments come during a section of the film that focuses on her federal obstruction of justice trial and five-month stint in prison beginning in 2004 — five years after Stewart, 83, became the first self-made female billionaire in 1999.
“It was so horrifying to me that I had to go through that to be a trophy for these idiots in the U.S. Attorney’s office,” she says in the Netflix documentary called “Martha,” which was released on Oct. 30.
Comey, who was behind the now-defunct 2016 Russia investigation into Donald Trump that the former president dubbed a “witch hunt,” was the lead prosecutor who indicted Stewart on charges of obstruction of justice and lying to the FBI in 2003. The charges came in connection with the FBI’s insider trading investigation into her friend’s company, ImClone.
“I was a trophy — a prominent woman, the first billionaire woman in America,” Stewart says of the case in “Martha.”
When charges were initially filed against Stewart, then 62, then-U.S. Attorney Comey said during a 2003 news conference that the “case is about lying — lying to the FBI, lying to the SEC and investors.”
