June 17 (UPI) -- Showtime is giving a glimpse of Jeff Daniels in The Comey Rule.

The network shared first look photos for the miniseries Wednesday featuring Daniels, 65, as former FBI director James Comey and Brendan Gleeson as President Donald Trump.

One photo shows Daniels on the phone as Comey, while the other shows Gleeson in silhouette as Trump.
