At an Aspen Security Forum event in London today, Comey said the FBI had paid an unidentified third-party more money than he'll earn in his remaining seven years as FBI director. He did not reveal the precise amount.
The Justice Department last month revealed that an outside entity had approached it with a method that could hack into the phone used by Syed Farook, who along with his wife killed 14 people in the December attacks before dying in a police shootout.
