Comey will also tell lawmakers that he informed Trump that he was not personally under investigation, validating the president's previous claims that he was not the target of the probe into his campaign's possible ties to Russian Federation.
Trump reportedly returned to the subject later in the dinner, he added, saying "I need loyalty".
With the clock ticking down until James Comey testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee, President Donald Trump appears increasingly angry and alone.
In it Comey made clear he was uncomfortable discussing an ongoing investigation with the president, even as he assured Trump that he himself was not a target of the probe.
Last month, White House press secretary Sean Spicer denied that Trump asked Comey to pledge his loyalty to him.
Trump said that as he campaigned across the country a year ago, people often asked him why the USA was spending money to rebuild other countries when the roads and bridges they travel on needed rebuilding, too.
Axios: It's Comey time, and Trump's war room has no soldiers - "With CNN's clock already counting down to fired FBI Director Jim Comey's testimony on Thursday morning, where's the White House war room?"
"When that word comes up I always say to my colleagues in the Congress, my constituents, and people across the country what I said before: anything you do has to be based on data, evidence, facts", Pelosi said.
Earlier Wednesday, Trump announced that he planned to nominate Christopher Wray, a former Justice Department official, as Comey's successor. If gamblers bet Trump tweets "Comey" more than twice, the odds are +135. Creating written records immediately after one-on-one conversations with Mr. Trump was my practice from that point forward.
Light winds postpone America's Cup racing in Bermuda
France, who as late challengers for the America's Cup were regarded as underdogs, face Sweden's Artemis Racing on Saturday. Team New Zealand crossed ahead of Oracle on the third leg but Spithill squeezed through the gate mark in the lead.
Comey was sacked by Trump last month, and the president later said the Russian Federation investigation factored into his decision. Comey responded that he was finishing the investigation as quickly as possible.
The president then initiated a conversation about Flynn. Comey writes he was ready to assure Trump he was not. "We have a quiet week in terms of economic data and there's a general global unease at the moment", said Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The White House did not provide details on the waterways plan, but spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Monday that the president would "speak about his wide-ranging vision for rebuilding our country". Given the previous questions about staying on and "loyalty", did Comey think he needed to drop the Flynn investigation, or was he being asked to drop the Flynn investigation to remain in his post? Before that meeting, he spoke with the FBI's leadership team about whether he should tell Trump the agency was not investigating him.
There was a precursor of that potential loggerhead on Wednesday, when top national security and Federal Bureau of Investigation officials came before Blunt and other members of the committee and refused to answer some questions about their conversations with Trump.
After Comey writes up his latest encounter, he implores Sessions "to prevent any further direct communication between the president and me".
"That will be an interesting thing to watch on Thursday, if (Comey) has the view that he can talk about specific things and can't talk about exactly similar things he doesn't want to talk about", Blunt said.
The White House said Monday it would not invoke executive privilege over Comey's upcoming testimony - officials predicted it would look bad otherwise.
Wray rose to head the department's criminal division in the Bush administration and oversaw investigations into corporate fraud, at a time when Comey was deputy attorney general.
