Fired FBI Director James Comey on Thursday testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee that President Donald Trump did not ask him about any ongoing investigations other than the one into his former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

“How many ongoing investigations at any time does the FBI have?” Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), the committee’s ranking member, asked Comey.

“Tens of thousands,” Comey replied.

“Did the President ever ask about any other ongoing investigation?” Warner asked.

“No,” Comey said.
