Fired FBI Director Jim Comey and Sen. Angus King (I-ME) drew laughter when discussing the circumstance of Comey’s one-on-one dinner with Trump.
“Did you in any way initiate that dinner?” King asked.
“No he called me at my desk at lunchtime and asked me, was I free for dinner that night?” Comey replied, detailing the logistics of his date with the President.
“And then he said how about 6:30? I said whatever works for you, sir,” Comey recalled of the phone conversation with Trump. “Then I hung up and had to call my wife and break a date with her. I was supposed to take her out to dinner that night.”
“That’s one of the all time great excuses for breaking it,” King said, to laughter.
“In retrospect,” Comey replied. “I love spending time with my wife. I wish I had dinner with her that night.”
“That’s one question I’m not going to follow up,” King said.
