FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe testified before the House Intelligence Committee that former FBI Director James Comey told him about conversations he had with President Trump, including Trump’s request for loyalty, according to a new report.
CNN reports that McCabe told lawmakers during his testimony this week that Comey told him about conversations he had with Trump after they occurred.
McCabe told the committee that Comey also told him about Trump’s request for loyalty, according to CNN’s Manu Raju.
During his testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee in June, Comey said that Trump asked him for his loyalty during a January dinner at the White House.
“I need loyalty. I expect loyalty,” Trump said, according to Comey.
Comey said he didn’t respond to Trump’s request, but the president returned to the subject later in the dinner, again repeating that he needed loyalty. Ultimately, Comey allowed that Trump would get “honesty loyalty” from him.
Trump has disputed Comey’s account of the conversation, saying he never asked Comey for his loyalty.
