Comey memos show president Trump obsessed with Russia probe
Thursday on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin broke down the latest news about former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and his criminal referral to prosecutors, former FBI Director James Comey's involvement with McCabe's leaks, and the upcoming inspector general report on leaks from the Clinton email investigation.
A source familiar told CNN that Trump did not read the memos but was briefed on their contents prior to the Justice Department's release to lawmakers.
Multiple Congressional hearings are now investigating Comey's decision not to charge Clinton over classified information sent through private email servers. The report - which quickly became public, though it was not released by the inspector general - laid out in stunning detail allegations McCabe had deceived investigators about his role in approving the disclosure, even as he lashed out at others in the Federal Bureau of Investigation for leaks.
The move comes as House Republicans threatened to subpoena the documents and criticized department officials. "But I took from whatever communication we had that he wasn't involved in it".
FBI Director James Comey testifies during a House Judiciary Committee in March 2016. "I've tried to be transparent throughout this, and I think what folks will see if they get to see the memos is I've been consistent since the very beginning, right after my encounters with President Trump". He revealed past year that he had written the memos after conversations with Trump.
Pointing to Comey's criticism of Trump, The CNN newsman said he thought it was "hard to imagine" how Comey wouldn't think the US would be in better hands had Clinton, the Democratic nominee, won.

Magnitude 3.6 natural disaster in Canada felt in parts of MI
An natural disaster Thursday evening in Canada was reportedly felt throughout the Detroit area. Earthquakes are rare in the midwest region, but they do happen every now and then.
The 15 pages of documents contain new details about a series of interactions that Comey had with Trump in the weeks before his May 2017 firing.
Trump's remarks, unsurprisingly, came in the form of a tweet shortly after Comey appeared on CNN with Jake Tapper.
In the memos, Comey paints Trump as gravely concerned about what he called "that golden shower thing", unproven allegations that the president was involved with prostitutes in his Moscow hotel room.
Former FBI Director James Comey said in a wide-ranging CNN interview Thursday that he could potentially be a witness against the FBI's former number two.
Mr. Comey, the author of a newly published book, "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership", has gone on tour and mounted a high-profile broadside against Mr. Trump, saying he is not fit to hold office and comparing him to a mobster. "While former Director Comey went to great lengths to set dining room scenes, discuss height requirements, describe the multiple times he felt complimented, and myriad other extraneous facts, he never once mentioned the most relevant fact of all, which was whether he felt obstructed in his investigation".
