In a series of tweets Thursday the senator also called for Attorney General MORE and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to testify before the committee. Blumenthal's comments came after fired FBI Director James Comey testified on Thursday that the president pressed him to end his agency's investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Comey's testimony – his first such appearance since Trump abruptly fired him last month – detailed his interactions with Trump, including a January dinner at the White House, in which the president asked him for a pledge of loyalty.
