LIVE BLOG: Former FBI Director James Comey Testifies About Trump and Russia
by Jane C. Timm
Get your popcorn ready.
Former FBI Director James Comey is testifying under oath for the first time since he was abruptly fired by President Donald Trump at a Senate Intelligence Committee into Russia's efforts to intervene in the 2016 elections. At Comey's behest, the committee released a copy of his statement as prepared for delivery Wednesday afternoon, so we have a good idea of what he plans to say regarding his interactions with Trump.
But there's likely still more to come, thanks to two rounds of grilling from senators. America is readying for a political storm: Washington bars are opening early to show the testimony with Russia-inspired drink specials, a pro-Trump super PAC is running attack ads against Comey, and rumors are flying about the potential for Trump to live tweet the whole thing. Just 139 days in, the stakes have never been higher for Trump's nascent presidency.
