Trump drafted letter to fire Comey cited in White House memo
Trump prepared a four page emotional draft letter arguing for Comey’s dismissal circulated among senior aides before Rosenstein wrote a memo justifying the firing. The draft referenced Comey’s statements about not being investigated in the Russia probe and was kept tightly controlled by Miller with Rosenstein later receiving a copy. The memo and letter became focal points as Mueller later took over the Russia inquiry.
