Donald Trump Will
Not Block James Comey Testimony
by Michelle Moons 5 Jun 2017Washington, D.C.
WASHINGTON, D.C.
— President Donald Trump will not exert executive privilege over former FBI Director James
Comey as he is set to testify
this week on Capitol Hill.
A statement from Press Secretary Sean Spicer released
Monday afternoon read:
The President’s power to assert executive privilege is
well-established. However, in order to facilitate a swift and thorough
examination of the facts sought by the Senate Intelligence Committee, President
Trump will not assert executive privilege regarding James Comey’s scheduled
testimony.
Comey is set to testify
before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday regarding the investigation
into alleged Russian interference in
the 2016 presidential election. Comey was fired as FBI Director last
month.
Comey has alleged that Trump
suggested he drop the investigation into former Trump National Security Advisor
Michael Flynn. Reports citing “sources”
state that a memo allegedly records Trump pressuring Comey — although no memo
has been produced to date. CNN reported that sources described the memo to
them, but that they had not actually seen the memo at the time of their report.
Comey has already spoken with Special Counsel Robert Mueller,
who has taken over the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump
presidential campaign and Russia, regarding the upcoming testimony
according to CNN
which cited an unnamed source. The discussion was reported to have
occurred in order to prevent legal issues with what Comey testifies to. Comey
faces potential conflicts as the FBI’s investigation into Trump and Russia is
still ongoing.
