noted last Thursday<\/a>, Comey testified last Thursday that it gave him a “queasy” feeling after Lynch asked him to characterize his probe into Clinton’s emails as a “matter,” rather than an investigation. He told the Senate Intelligence Committee that such a request would match the wording of Clinton’s campaign.\u00a0 Feinstein said she would’ve also felt queasy.<\/p>\n“I would have a queasy feeling, too, though, to be candid with you,” the longtime Senate Democrat said. She added that an investigation separate from the ongoing probe into Russian interference in the election is needed.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think we should mix the two,” she added.<\/p>\n
That said, when asked who do you believe, Trump or Comey, Feinstein said that \u201cAt this point, the FBI director\u201d<\/p>\n
Separately, Feinstein said she has not yet decided from Comey’s testimony whether Trump’s interactions with the ex-FBI director amount to obstruction of justice. \u201cI don’t know whether it’s obstruction of justice. I don\u2019t intend to draw any conclusions until investigations are finished,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Trump on Friday denied that he asked Comey to let “go” of his investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn and that he requested Comey pledge his loyalty to him prior to Comey’s dismissal.\u00a0 The president added that he is “100 percent” willing to testify about his interactions with Comey under oath, while playing down reporters’ inquiries if he did in fact have “tapes” of his conversation with Comey.<\/p>\n
