Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleComey says he took “as a direction” US President Donald Trump’s remark that he hoped Comey would drop an investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Republican Sen. James Risch of Idaho asked if Comey was aware of anyone being charged with obstruction of justice because they expressed hope for a certain outcome. Comey says he wasn’t.
But Comey added at his Senate hearing: “I took it as a direction,” and noted that the remark came during a one-on-one meeting with the president of the United States.
