On June 8, 2017, the former FBI director James Comey testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee about his memos on his meetings with President Donald Trump. “I was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting, so I thought it really important to document.”
He said that the first meeting “led me to believe I’ve got to write it down in a very detailed way.” He added that he had never felt the need to document his conversations with Presidents Obama or Bush.
