Comey will also tell lawmakers that he informed Trump that he was not personally under investigation, validating the president's previous claims that he was not the target of the probe into his campaign's possible ties to Russia. Comey will say that the FBI and Justice Department were reluctant to state that publicly "because it would create a duty to correct, should that change."
Comey's testimony is his first public comments since Trump abruptly fired him on May 9.
