Source: Comey to testify publicly about Trump confrontations

Source: CNN

Fired FBI director James Comey plans to testify publicly in the Senate as early as next week to confirm bombshell accusations that President Donald Trump pressured him to end his investigation into a top Trump aide's ties to Russia, a source close to the issue said Wednesday.

Final details are still being worked out and no official date for his testimony has been set. Comey is expected to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is investigating possible connections between the Trump campaign and Russia during last year's presidential election.

Comey has spoken privately with Special Counsel Robert Mueller III to work out the parameters for his testimony to ensure there are no legal entanglements as a result of his public account, a source said. Comey will likely sit down with Mueller, a longtime colleague at the Justice Department, for a formal interview only after his public testimony.

Comey has a habit of dropping bombs in each and every testimony.

This will be the first without the director of the FBI shackle on, but with ongoing investigation restrictions

question: So who are you going to believe, the former Director of the FBI or the guy who is lying?

I didn't recognize that guy but I am sure after that question, I will never forget him!
