A hearing that may go down in history
Did Trump obstruct justice? That's what the country wants to know, and it's why America was counting down to former FBI director James Comey's appearance Thursday before the Senate Intelligence Committee on whether Trump urged Comey to drop the investigation into collusion between Trump's campaign and Russian officials during last year's election. But on Wednesday, a bombshell: Comey's opening statement was released, and in it he writes that Trump pressed him to shut down the Michael Flynn investigation, saying at a January dinner: "I need loyalty. I expect loyalty." The panel had a lower-profile hearing Wednesday where top intelligence officials were grilled on whether Trump had asked them to deny collusion, but they wouldn't answer. Here's how to watch Thursday's hearing. Here are three things to look for in Comey's testimony. And here are four other times the ex-FBI director starred in unusual public dramas.
