House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz says he plan to talk with fired FBI Director James Comey on Monday.
Chaffetz made the revelation Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” The Utah Republican was asked by host George Stephanopoulos if he had heard back from Comey after requesting documents related to his meetings with President Trump and for a him to publicly testify before his committee on May 24. Comey has already agreed to testify in public before the Senate Intelligence Committee amid concerns that Trump fired him due to his agency’s investigation into possible ties between his campaign and Russia.
“What I have heard is that I believe Director Comey and I are going to have a conversation on Monday,” Chaffetz replied, adding that he had not spoken with Comey “directly” yet.
About the documents, which Chaffetz noted it is “important to remember that nobody’s actually seen,” he said his committee is “certainly pursuing” them.
Also appearing on “This Week” was the top Democrat on the intelligence panel, Elijah Cummings of Maryland, who press Chaffetz to issue subpoenas to obtain the documents.
“I want every note that they have,” Cummings said.
