The Department of Justice
released copies of the so-called Comey memos to congressional leaders on Thursday. In the documents, the former FBI director detailed his early encounters with newly-minted President Donald Trump.
Journalists with The Associated Press and other news outlets obtained redacted copies of the letters, which can be seen below.
The memos were released just days after House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.)
threatened to subpoena the DOJ to obtain them. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had asked for more time to “evaluate the consequences” of their release on Monday.

See the 15 pages at the above link. There seems to be great consistency between what Comey has already stated publicly and what is contained in his memos.
The president asked Comey whether Andrew McCabe, the deputy FBI director who Trump
fired last month, had an issue with him on several occasions, according to the memos.
“I was pretty rough on him and his wife during the campaign,” Trump reportedly said, referring to his attacks on McCabe about the handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email and political donations McCabe’s wife received from Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D).
Then he fired the guy with 2 days before his retirement? Yea Don, you were VERY hard on the guy.
The only reason I don't mind is this McCabe is a Republican. Serves him right whatever happens.
