Comey's prepared testimony was released on the Senate Intelligence Committee's website on Wednesday, confirming previous bombshell reports that Trump asked the FBI director to pledge loyalty to the president, as well as "let go" of the investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's connections to Russia.
Comey's testimony also confirmed that he took meticulous notes about his meetings with the president, and told Attorney General Jeff Sessions that he did not want to be left alone with Trump because he felt the conversations were inappropriate.
Trump Jr. blasted these allegations and defended his father, saying "knowing my father for 39 years when he 'orders or tells' you to do something there is no ambiguity, you will know exactly what he means."

1/3 Flynn stuff is BS in context 2 guys talking about a guy they both know well. I hear "I hope nothing happens but you have to do your job"

2/3 very far from any kind of coercion or influence and certainly not obstruction!

Hoping and telling are two very different things, you would think that a guy like Comey would know that. #givemeabreak

So if he was a "Stronger guy" he might have actually followed procedure & the law? You were the director of the FBI, who are you kidding?

Solid point and seems rather convenient for the partisan nonsense we have seen play out for months. https://t.co/PpYkSVRzmA

We all know that there is no way anyone in the swamp would leak something favorable to #potus. Otherwise this whopper would be everywhere! https://t.co/hO5SCD3Nd2

Did I miss something or did Comey just say he asked a friend to leak information to the press? Is this a joke?

Washington DC at its finest. This is what America rallied against, but the DC elite don't get it or know any other way. https://t.co/H5SszE4uL4
