Did President Trump Ask FBI Director James Comey To Drop Investigation On Trump's Top Aide?

On Wednesday, congressional officials announced plans to move forward with a testimony by former FBI director, James Comey. The testimony aims to clear up a question that seems to be on everyone's mind:

Did US President Donald Trump ask James Comey, former FBI director, to stop investigating Trump's former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn?

It was only a few weeks ago that Trump fired Comey for doing a bad job and referred to him as a "nut job" to Russian diplomats. The firing was criticized heavily by both Democrats and Republicans alike.

In fact, Comey has devoted more than a decade to high-profile public service jobs while cultivating a reputation as a competent, aggressively non-partisan public servant.

It's no wonder why Comey’s testimony will be one of the most sensational moments to date in a controversy that has engulfed the Trump administration from its very beginning.

Some members of Congress have suggested that President Trump was trying to obstruct the FBI investigation by demanding Comey drop the inquiry, and then firing him after he refused.

Trump has only fueled that suspicion by publicly belittling the FBI investigation and then telling Russian diplomats that the firing had relieved pressure on him.
