After weeks of leaking his personal memos to a “friend” who leaked them to the New York Times, The Senate Intelligence Committee is finally going to get and see the Comey memos. At least some of them. I’m sure the incriminating memos against Comey or Hillary Clinton wouldn’t be included in the “hand-over.” Considering Comey is BFFs with the Clinton’s, they probably don’t have to worry about the memo handover.
Senate Intelligence Committee to get Comey memos |
---|
The Senate Intelligence Committee has reportedly reached an agreement to get former FBI Director James Comey’s memos detailing his conversations with President Trump.
“I’ve got a commitment,” Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) told Politico on Wednesday when asked whether his panel would obtain access to the memos.
Burr declined to say who provided the commitment, the newspaper reported.
Several House and Senate committees requested the memos after Comey said in his testimony before the Senate Intelligence panel earlier this month that he had authorized a friend to share the contents of one of the memos with a reporter.
Comey’s friend, identified as Columbia University law professor Daniel Richman, shared the memos with a reporter and has reportedly turned the documents over to the FBI.
Comey said in his testimony before Burr’s committee that the memos included a detailed account of the president asking him to ease off the FBI investigation into his former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
