It was Comey's firing, however, that would reverberate for months, starting with Trump's acknowledgment that he took the action because of the FBI chief's handling of the Russia investigation and the president's connection to it.
In explosive testimony a month following his dismissal, Comey told a separate Senate committee that he had memorialized conversations with Trump during the early days of the administration in which the president allegedly requested the FBI director's personal"loyalty" and asked him to drop the investigation into Flynn's contacts with the Russian ambassador.
"I appreciate Mr. Comey coming before the committee," Graham told Fox News earlier this month."He will be respectfully treated but asked hard questions."
