Ousted FBI director James Comey will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on June 8 as part of its investigation into Russia’s election interference. Comey is expected to appear in both open and closed sessions.
President Donald Trump abruptly fired Comey in early May, later attributing that move to the ongoing federal probe into the “Russia thing.”
Read the statement below:
WASHINGTON –Senator Richard Burr (R-NC), Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, today announced that former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation James Comey will testify before the Committee on June 8th, 2017. The hearing will begin at 10 am in open session. The open session will be followed by a closed session at 1 pm.
Burr and Warner will emerge from the closed session claiming to be very troubled by Comey’s testimony. Rinse and repeat.
Great, yet another day of not getting any work done. I can’t wait…
They are leaving plenty of time for him to testify in open session… That’s a 3 hour window before the closed session starts.
ETA: Maybe I’m off on this one. Maybe this isn’t enough time.
OT but I had to read the article to make sure it wasn’t the Mango Mussolini involved. He’s in enough trouble already.
Don’t leave DiFi off that list. So helpful for her to continue to say that there is absolutely no evidence of collusion.
