The Senate intelligence committee released on Wednesday remarks prepared by former FBI Director James Comey for delivery the next day.
In the prepared remarks, Comey confirms that he told Trump he was not under FBI investigation multiple times, as Trump has asserted.
Comey said he told the president on January 6 and on March 30 that he was not under investigation.
They also show that Trump had never pressured Comey to drop the FBI’s investigation of whether there was any collusion between his campaign and Russia.
In fact, according to Comey, Trump had said it would be “good” to find out of there were some “satellite” associates of his who did something wrong.
In his remarks, Comey clarified conversations “associates” of his had with media outlets, giving new details that provided more context.
According to a May 11 New York Times report, Trump had told Comey he “needed his loyalty.” The headline read, “In a Private Dinner, Trump Demanded Loyalty. Comey Demurred.”
However, according to Comey’s account, Trump never asked Comey to pledge his loyalty, and Comey never refused, as the Times reported. Trump had, according to the account, said, “I need loyalty. I expect loyalty.” Comey said he did not respond to the comment.
Later in the conversation, he said Trump said again, “I need loyalty,” and that he responded, “You will always get honesty from me.” He said the president then said, “That’s what I want, honest loyalty,” to which Comey said, “You will get that from me.”
Comey said he was not sure what the president meant, and he did not ask, leaving it unclear as to what Trump actually wanted from him and what he meant by “loyalty,” and in what context.
As the Times also noted in the report, “Throughout his career, Mr. Trump has made loyalty from the people who work for him a key priority, often discharging employees he considers insufficiently reliable.”
Comey also provided more context to a reported conversation he had with Trump on February 14, in which the president reportedly asked him to drop the FBI investigation on his former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, whom he had dismissed the day before.
The Washington Post ran an article on May 16 that was headlined, “Notes made by FBI Director Comey say Trump pressured him to end Flynn probe.” However, Comey’s account makes it far from clear that he was ever “pressured.”
