Fired FBI director James Comey takes the stand in a crucial Senate hearing, repeating explosive allegations that US President Donald Trump badgered him over the highly sensitive investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election.
In a jam-packed hearing room on Capitol Hill, Comey immediately faces pressure from the Senate Intelligence Committee over whether Trump was obstructing justice in phone calls and meetings they held before the president fired him on May 9.
“The administration chose to defame me and more importantly, the FBI,” comey says. “Those were lies, plain and simple.”
