Fired FBI Director James Comey is expected to testify in public
before the Senate Intelligence Committee next week after having been
"cleared for takeoff" by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, a source close
to Comey told NBC News.
The source, a former law enforcement official, declined to say whether Mueller had specifically authorized Comey to discuss his interactions with President Trump, but said it was reasonable to expect that subject to come up.
Mueller was named earlier this month by Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to be special counsel overseeing the
sprawling FBI investigation into Russian election interference.
People close to Comey have said he is eager to
testify in public in the wake of his abrupt dismissal, which Comey
allies believe was an attempt to thwart the FBI's investigation into
whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia's election
interference.
