FBI special agents from the Washington Field Office paid a visit to former FBI Director James Comey's home on the morning of June 7, 2017, one day before he testified to Congress he had leaked his notes of conversations he had with President Trump, hoping that it would spark a special counsel investigation.
Comey gave these agents four memos as "evidence," according to an FBI log from June 9, 2017. Three of them had a date range between February and April. A fourth, the notes say, was dated "last night at 6:30 pm."
The specific contents of these memos weren't disclosed in the documents obtained by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, but some of their dates align with those that have been disclosed already, including one documenting Comey's final conversation with Trump before being fired on May 9, 2017.
The memo with the date, "last night at 6:30 pm," is from Jan. 28, in which Comey wrote about having dinner with Trump in the Green Room at the White House.
The notes also show Comey "spontaneously" stated to the best of his recollection that there were two other memos that were missing and which he did not hand over at that time.
Comey said that one of the memos he didn't hand over, as he described them, matches up with a known memo about when he and other intelligence officials traveled to Trump Tower in New York City on Jan. 7 to brief then-president-elect Trump on Russian election interference efforts. Comey also suggested he may have written a memo on March 9 about an "all business" phone conversation he had with Trump, but the notes state he was less certain he had actually written anything down for this talk.
The FBI declined comment for this report.
