Shortly after the meeting, Comey said he confronted Sessions, saying that had become increasingly uneasy about being left alone with Trump.
The remaining question is whether or not Sessions' testimony will be made available to the public - there's been no announcement of whether any of this testimony will occur in an open hearing or if it will all take place behind closed doors.
"I don't think we finish those whole conversations until we just know everything, so I just want more information about everything that can come out", the IL lawmaker said. James Lankford of Oklahoma, "releasing his memos is not damaging to national security". Following James Comey's testimony last week, the Senate will forge on in its fact finding mission, with another intriguing administration official slated to appear next. Trump "should voluntarily turn them over", Collins said.
"He asked specifically of loyalty in the context of asking me to stay", Comey told the Senate intelligence committee.
The Secret Service, which protects the president and his family, maintained a secret taping system for the White House in the eras of John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon.
I suspect this is a pushback against the Fake News phenomenon, which includes what the Russians did during the election, but also the lies that Donald Trump spews on a regular basis, putting him in a uniquely dishonest category for presidents.
"It depends on the scope of the questions", White House press secretary Sean Spicer said when asked whether Sessions would invoke executive privilege. Trump has denied he tried to interfere with the probe. What did Sessions say, she asked - how did he respond?
Were you aware of any officials other than Comey with whom he discussed letting the Flynn probe go?

Southgate said: "People have said to me there were a lack of leaders in the team and I don't see that to be the case". I know what I want to do and this team has great ambition. "We proved that on our day we can match anybody".
Comey's dramatic testimony drew invective from his former boss on Twitter, with Trump dismissing him as a leaker on Friday and a coward on Sunday. "Totally illegal? Very 'cowardly", he tweeted Sunday. But if he challenges this story strongly, it helps Trump's narrative that Comey didn't tell the Senate the truth. Preet Bharara told ABC's "This Week" that Trump was trying to "cultivate some kind of relationship" with him when he called him twice before the inauguration to "shoot the breeze".
Brien Comey said the former Federal Bureau of Investigation director, spending time at home in Allendale, New Jersey, "literally enjoyed" his Senate testimony.

Though we may not learn a lot about the Russian Federation investigation, we will be able to better assess Sessions' survival by the end of the day. Dianne Feinstein of California has said there should be further investigation.
"I'd like to invite the president to testify before the Senate".
Pressure mounted at the start of the week following reports that Sessions offered his resignation to Trump because the President blamed Sessions for exacerbating his Russian Federation problems by recusing himself from the probe.
Sessions recused himself from overseeing the federal investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia back in March after admitting he met twice past year with the Russian ambassador to the US. Sessions, a former senator, later issued a clarification saying he had met with the ambassador. Reed said he expects Sessions to be asked if he was aware that Trump was factoring Comey's handling of the Russian Federation investigation in his decision to fire Comey.
