Former FBI head James Comey told a Congressional hearing today that he gave his memos regarding conversations with Donald Trump to a friend – Columbia law school professor Daniel Richman – so his friend would get it to the press.

The reason Comey gave the memos to his friend to leak to the press?

Comey hoped that it would cause a special investigator would be appointed.

Comey says he wanted his memo leaked, thought it might prompt the appointment of a special council https://t.co/wAOirl6c5p #ComeyTestimony pic.twitter.com/mUx43SOaGH
