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.”
