Senators specifically want to know if Trump sought a pledge of loyalty from Comey early on --- and if Comey was pressured to go easy on former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired for misleading Trump administration officials about meetings he had had with Russia's ambassador the U.S.
At the meeting where Comey is said to have rebuffed the president's reported loyalty pledge, one source described Comey as viewing the attempt as an amateurish effort to bring him under the president's wing.
During their meetings, Comey was constantly assessing the president's motive, unsure whether Trump was doing something sinister or was someone simply used to getting his way and not versed in the protocols of Washington whereby the FBI director enjoys broad independence. |
