Comey returns to Congress for showdown with Republicans

House Republicans are eager to try and nail down the ousted FBI director on several issues before they cede their majority.

The last time James Comey faced lawmakers, the recently fired FBI director was telling a sordid tale about President Donald Trump haranguing him to "lift the cloud" of the bureau's deepening Russia investigation.

Since that June 2017 hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Comey has memorialized his tale in a book eviscerating Trump, traveled the country condemning Trump’s character and taken Twitter potshots at the president. Trump has responded in kind, lambasting Comey 80 times on Twitter and calling for his jailing.

Now, as Comey returns to Capitol Hill Friday for his first appearance in 18 months, he’ll be facing some of Trump’s closest allies. And this time, it'll be out of the camera's glare. Despite Comey's pleas for a public hearing, House lawmakers have required the ousted FBI chief to appear behind closed doors, ensuring the first version of events will be told through the lens of self-interested participants as they exit. A transcript of his testimony — which will be before the House intelligence and judiciary committees — is expected to be released about 24 hours after he appears.

House Republicans are eager to try and nail down Comey on several issues before they cede their majority to the Democrats after the new year.
