Former FBI Director James Comey told House lawmakers Friday that he and special counsel Robert Mueller are “not friends in any social sense,” dismissing President Donald Trump’s assertion that the ousted bureau chief is “Best Friends” with the leader of the Russia probe.

Comey appeared on Capitol Hill Friday to testify behind closed doors to members of the House Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, following a legal scuffle over a subpoena from Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) mandating Comey’s hearing be private.

“Are you best friends with Robert Mueller?” Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, asked Comey, according to a transcript of the hearing released Saturday by Goodlatte and Oversight Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.).

“I am not,” Comey said. “I admire the heck out of the man, but I don't know his phone number, I've never been to his house, I don't know his children's names.”

Comey added: “I think I had a meal once alone with him in a restaurant. I like him. I am not a — I'm an associate of his who admires him greatly. We're not friends in any social sense.”
