Former FBI Director James Comey in memos recounting conversations with President Donald Trump last year said Trump repeatedly raised concerns over salacious allegations in an intelligence dossier, the need for loyalty and ferreting out leakers. The partially redacted memos were handed over on Thursday by the US Justice Department to three House of Representatives committees. The memos also describe a dinner Comey and Trump had at the White House about a week after the inauguration, where Comey said Trump told him he expected loyalty from him. At the White House dinner in January, Comey said Trump told him that Flynn "has serious judgment issues." Comey said Trump's comment came after he learned there was a delay in returning a congratulatory phone call from a foreign leader.
