DC bar hosting viewing party for James Comey’s testimony

Shaw’s Tavern is hosting a watch party for former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday.

On Facebook, the bar, located at 520 Florida Avenue NW, is billing the event, as “The Comey Hearing Covfefe,” a mocking reference to President Trump’s nonsensical tweet last week in which he appeared to make a typo. The event begins at 9:30 a.m., ahead of Comey’s scheduled testimony.

Comey was fired by Trump on May 9. He’s expected to testify about conversations he had with Trump about the FBI’s investigation into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election.
