The Associated Press has obtained 15 pages of memos former FBI Director James Comey wrote about his interactions with President Trump. Comey has explained he kept contemporaneous notes because he feared the president later would lie about their meetings.
The memos include details about several interactions in the first few months of the Trump administration. They include a January 2017 dinner at which Comey says Trump asked him for his loyalty, and a conversation the following month about former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Some of the episodes have been recounted in Comey's congressional testimony last year and in his new book, "A Higher Loyalty."
What follows is Comey's introduction to his first memo and other information revealed for the first time. Also worth noting is President Trump's desire to jail reporters to stop leaks (page 11) and the president's apparent obsession with how Deputy Director Andrew McCabe felt about him, a subject he broached with Comey on multiple occasions.
