He said he didn’t know if Trump obstructed justice, but said it was for Mueller to decide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey testified that he told the president he was not personally under investigation three times and confirmed that Trump was not under investigation at the time of his firing on May 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, “Officials say that changed shortly after Comey’s firing,” the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It stands to reason that the circumstances surrounding Comey’s firing would now be at the center of Mueller’s query. That’s particularly the case since other high-ranking administration officials have declined under oath in open testimony to provide more details about whether Trump asked them in any way to influence Comey or the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, National Security Agency Director Adm. Mike Rogers and Rogers’ former deputy, Richard Ledgett, agreed to be interviewed as part of Mueller’s investigation, according to five people “briefed on the requests” who were “not authorized to discuss the matter publicly,” the paper reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officially, Mueller spokesman Peter Carr told NPR’s Carrie Johnson, “We’ll decline to comment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NSA spokeswoman Vanee Vines told NPR’s Phil Ewing, “NSA will fully cooperate with the special counsel. We are not in a position to comment further.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for Trump’s personal lawyer in the Russia matter, Marc Kasowitz, said, “The FBI leak of information regarding the president is outrageous, inexcusable and illegal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”dZ5hkz8sRYhFsYhCEFfq4GQ2Wu3es6K6″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey’s firing is a “central moment that’s being looked at” in the investigation, \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> reporter Devlin Barrett told NPR’s Ari Shapiro on \u003cem>All Things Considered\u003c/em>, “but it’s not the only thing.” Investigators are also considering the conversations Comey and the president had leading up to that point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his testimony on June 8, Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he believed Trump had fired him over his role as lead of the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the U.S. election and Trump campaign associates’ possible ties to Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House has been inconsistent with its public messaging about the dismissal — initially saying Trump took the recommendations of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about Comey’s management of the FBI and his handling of the Clinton email investigation. But then the president himself said he had made up his mind prior to receiving the recommendations from the two top lawyers at the Department of Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey testified that initial explanations that he was fired because of poor leadership were “lies, plain and simple.” He also said Trump had privately urged him to pull back on the investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn — \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/18/528989289/president-trump-holds-press-conference-with-colombias-president-before-overseas\">a claim that the president has denied\u003c/a>.

The intelligence chiefs \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/06/07/531851337/intelligence-chiefs-wont-discuss-private-conversations-with-trump-in-open-hearin\">declined to discuss\u003c/a> their private conversations with Trump during a Senate panel hearing on June 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked whether Trump’s actions rose to the level of obstruction of justice, Comey testified last week: “I don’t know. That’s Bob Mueller’s job to sort that out.” But Comey \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/06/10/532321287/is-trump-guilty-of-obstruction-of-justice-comey-laid-out-the-case\">did lay out facts that a prosecutor could use \u003c/a>to try to prove obstruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and his supporters cast Comey’s testimony that he had told the president he was not personally under investigation as vindication.

He said he didn’t know if Trump obstructed justice, but said it was for Mueller to decide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey testified that he told the president he was not personally under investigation three times and confirmed that Trump was not under investigation at the time of his firing on May 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, “Officials say that changed shortly after Comey’s firing,” the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It stands to reason that the circumstances surrounding Comey’s firing would now be at the center of Mueller’s query. That’s particularly the case since other high-ranking administration officials have declined under oath in open testimony to provide more details about whether Trump asked them in any way to influence Comey or the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, National Security Agency Director Adm. Mike Rogers and Rogers’ former deputy, Richard Ledgett, agreed to be interviewed as part of Mueller’s investigation, according to five people “briefed on the requests” who were “not authorized to discuss the matter publicly,” the paper reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officially, Mueller spokesman Peter Carr told NPR’s Carrie Johnson, “We’ll decline to comment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NSA spokeswoman Vanee Vines told NPR’s Phil Ewing, “NSA will fully cooperate with the special counsel. We are not in a position to comment further.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for Trump’s personal lawyer in the Russia matter, Marc Kasowitz, said, “The FBI leak of information regarding the president is outrageous, inexcusable and illegal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey’s firing is a “central moment that’s being looked at” in the investigation, \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> reporter Devlin Barrett told NPR’s Ari Shapiro on \u003cem>All Things Considered\u003c/em>, “but it’s not the only thing.” Investigators are also considering the conversations Comey and the president had leading up to that point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his testimony on June 8, Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he believed Trump had fired him over his role as lead of the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the U.S. election and Trump campaign associates’ possible ties to Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House has been inconsistent with its public messaging about the dismissal — initially saying Trump took the recommendations of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about Comey’s management of the FBI and his handling of the Clinton email investigation. But then the president himself said he had made up his mind prior to receiving the recommendations from the two top lawyers at the Department of Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey testified that initial explanations that he was fired because of poor leadership were “lies, plain and simple.” He also said Trump had privately urged him to pull back on the investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn — \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/18/528989289/president-trump-holds-press-conference-with-colombias-president-before-overseas\">a claim that the president has denied\u003c/a>. Comey said he declined to tell agents working on the case about his conversation with Trump to shield them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/22/529586885/report-trump-asked-intel-heads-to-push-back-on-fbi-russia-probe\">The Washington Post previously reported\u003c/a> that Trump also asked Rogers and Coats to push back against the FBI’s investigation. The intelligence chiefs \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/06/07/531851337/intelligence-chiefs-wont-discuss-private-conversations-with-trump-in-open-hearin\">declined to discuss\u003c/a> their private conversations with Trump during a Senate panel hearing on June 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked whether Trump’s actions rose to the level of obstruction of justice, Comey testified last week: “I don’t know. That’s Bob Mueller’s job to sort that out.” But Comey \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/06/10/532321287/is-trump-guilty-of-obstruction-of-justice-comey-laid-out-the-case\">did lay out facts that a prosecutor could use \u003c/a>to try to prove obstruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and his supporters cast Comey’s testimony that he had told the president he was not personally under investigation as vindication.

While the White House initially insisted the dismissal was precipitated by Comey's mishandling of the investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's emails, Trump later told NBC's Lester Holt that the Russia investigation factored into his decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two sources close to Comey \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/16/528679977/trump-asked-comey-to-shut-down-flynn-investigation\">told NPR\u003c/a> that Trump asked Comey to scuttle an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn the day after he resigned.

His tenure leading the bureau were defined by what he did to adapt to the new threats posed to America by terrorism, and he was asked by President Barack Obama to stay on beyond the typical 10-year term for two additional years, which Congress approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"iaEYNKegCVtCMxyqAPiK5ZniRghsCL7T\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had been a prosecutor before, so I anticipated spending time on public corruption cases and narcotics cases and bank robberies and the like, and Sept. 11 changed all of that,\" he \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2013/08/23/214549458/outgoing-fbi-boss-on-his-legacy-and-what-kept-him-up-at-night\">told NPR in 2013\u003c/a> as he was stepping down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mueller moved 2,000 agents from criminal investigations into counterterrorism and national security in his time leading the FBI.

While the White House initially insisted the dismissal was precipitated by Comey's mishandling of the investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's emails, Trump later told NBC's Lester Holt that the Russia investigation factored into his decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two sources close to Comey \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/16/528679977/trump-asked-comey-to-shut-down-flynn-investigation\">told NPR\u003c/a> that Trump asked Comey to scuttle an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn the day after he resigned. Flynn stepped down after reports he had misled Vice President Pence about his conversations with the Russian ambassador. The White House denies that Trump made the request to shut down the probe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Comey associate says Comey wrote a memo after his encounter with the president, and congressional committees investigating the Russia ties have requested to see the memo and other related documentation. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has also asked Comey to testify next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenstein, deputy attorney general, had the authority to appoint a special counsel since Attorney General Jeff Sessions has recused himself from any part in the investigation. Sessions \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/02/518198749/attorney-general-sessions-to-recuse-himself-from-any-trump-campaign-investigatio\">said in March he would step back\u003c/a>, after reports he had met twice with the Russian ambassador during the campaign — contacts he insisted were innocent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As special counsel, Mueller will have full authorization to direct the Russia investigation, including any links or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with Trump's campaign, and any other matters. He can only be fired by Rosenstein, only with cause, and with notice to Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mueller, who preceded Comey at the FBI, had a 12-year stint at the agency after being unanimously confirmed by the Senate in 2001 — just the week before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. His tenure leading the bureau were defined by what he did to adapt to the new threats posed to America by terrorism, and he was asked by President Barack Obama to stay on beyond the typical 10-year term for two additional years, which Congress approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had been a prosecutor before, so I anticipated spending time on public corruption cases and narcotics cases and bank robberies and the like, and Sept. 11 changed all of that,\" he \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2013/08/23/214549458/outgoing-fbi-boss-on-his-legacy-and-what-kept-him-up-at-night\">told NPR in 2013\u003c/a> as he was stepping down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mueller moved 2,000 agents from criminal investigations into counterterrorism and national security in his time leading the FBI. Airline-related terrorism was a theme for Mueller throughout his career even before that, however; as a prosecutor he spent years working on an investigation into the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since retiring from the FBI in 2013, he has been working as a partner for the law firm WilmerHale. The Justice Department says he will resign from the firm to avoid any conflicts of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said she was \"pleased\" that the Justice Department had decided to appoint a special counsel, and called Mueller \"a respected public servant of the highest integrity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., called Mueller \"a fine U.S. attorney, a great FBI director and there's no better person who could be asked to perform this function. He is respected, he is talented and he has the knowledge and ability to do the right thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that Mueller's appointment \"confirms that the investigation into Russian intervention into our election will continue, as stated last week by Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence will also continue its investigation into this matter.\"\u003cem>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Miles Parks contributed\u003c/em>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.
