"i want to talk about michael flynn" comey quotes the president as saying, referring to his recently fired national security adviser "i hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting flynn go," comey says trump

told him. "he's a good guy. i hope you can let this go." comey goes on to say he prepared an unclassified memo of the conversation, understanding that the president was requesting he drop any probe into flynn. he shared that assessment with his fbi leadership team, but declined to share it with attorney general jeff sessions, on the assumption that sessions recused. while those details were kept close- hold, comey says the next time he spoke to sessions, "i took the opportunity to implore the general to prevent any future direct communication between the president and me." but comey also confirming that, just as president trump wrote in his letter firing the fbi director -he had, in fact, first informed the president- elect on january 6th-- he wasn't the target of a counter- intelligence investigation. it was a point that, based on comey's recounting, ate at trump - and dominated much of their interactions after trump assumed office.trump - stressing "the cloud" of the russia probe "was interfering with his ability to make deals for the country," comey recounted. trump telling comey at one point "we need to get that fact out." at another, saying explicitly "he hoped i could find a way to get out that he wasn't being investigated."comey, in his testimony, making clear one of the reasons he would not say trump wasn't being investigated publicly: "most importantly because it would create a duty to correct, should that change."
