Comey Wrote 'Other Memos'

Former FBI Director James Comey, apparently leery of every exchange he had with President Donald Trump, wrote "other memos" in addition to the bombshell that alleges the president tried to thwart an investigation, Politico reported.

The New York Times reported Tuesday night that a Comey memo detailed the president asking the former FBI director to drop a probe into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

There might be more where that came from.

"There are other memos about his meetings too," a purported friend of Comey's told Politico. "He wrote down every word Trump said to him as soon as he could."

The source told Politico that Comey's memo, the subject of the Times report, from his meeting with Trump in the Oval Office is "very rich in detail."

Not surprising, tweeted one former Department of Justice spox.

The Times report spread like wildfire across Capitol Hill, where House Oversight chairman Jason Chaffetz is already calling for — and saying he will subpoena — the Comey memos.

Further, Comey had already been invited to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee before news of the memo came out.

Regardless, given the infancy of the story, at least one lawmaker wants to see before he believes the report.

"I actually believe the director might have told us that there'd been a request like that, and it was never mentioned by him," Senate Intelligence Committee chair Richard Burr said.

"So, somebody's going to have to do more than have anonymous sources on this one for me to believe that there's something there."
