Chaffetz Says He'll Talk to Deposed FBI Director Comey on Monday
(Bloomberg) -- The Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said he’ll talk to deposed FBI Director James Comey on Monday and is pursuing any records of President Donald Trump’s meetings with the fired Federal Bureau of Investigation director.
The conversation between Representative Jason Chaffetz and Comey would be the first between the pair since Trump dismissed Comey on May 9, he said. Chaffetz, a Utah congressman since 2009, said last week that he’ll leave office on June 30.
The New York Times reported on May 19 that Trump had called Comey “a nut job” during a White House meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, adding that the firing relieved “great pressure” on the president. The Times cited a leaked document summarizing that meeting.
The ex-director will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee some time after May 29, the U.S. Memorial Day holiday, committee leaders have said. Chaffetz disclosed his plans to talk with Comey during an interview on ABC’s “This Week” program on Sunday.
