Comey Testimony Cast Trump as Interfering in Russia Probe
Comey portrayed Trump as a chief executive dismissive of FBI independence and said he took the president's request to end the Flynn inquiry as an implied order. He said the firing and Trump’s behavior could be investigated for obstruction, though he did not judge whether a threshold was met. Kasowitz challenged Comey’s claims of leaks and loyalty demands, while Comey revealed memos and the hope of tapes. Feinstein pressed why Comey did not confront the president at the time.
