President Donald Trump‘s outside counsel said Thursday that the president never said he expected loyalty from James Comey, as the former FBI director alleged in Senate testimony.
In a prepared statement that he is expected to give Thursday afternoon, lawyer Marc Kasowitz pushed back on various points of Comey’s dramatic testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Comey testified that, at a dinner in January, Trump said, “I need loyalty. I expect loyalty.” Kasowitz says Trump “never told” Comey that “in form or substance.”
