Comey and Rogers testify behind closed doors.

The two Directors offered little to nothing, except that they are still investigating.

When he testified in an open session of the committee on March 20, Comey publicly confirmed for the first time that the FBI is investigating Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

Comey said the investigation includes the nature of any links between individuals associated with President Donald Trump’s campaign and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between Russia’s efforts and the Trump campaign.

Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, is now leading the committee’s investigation with Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the ranking Democrat on the panel. The two spoke briefly to reporters after the closed session, but would not disclose details about what committee members discussed with Comey and Rogers in a secured location in the Capitol.

“Today’s hearing provided our committee members with a valuable opportunity to ask follow-up questions from the open hearing,” they said in a brief statement. “We remain committed to working with the FBI as they continue their investigation to ensure that no stone is unturned.”
