James comey testimony trump asked me to let flynn investigation go

You're referring to the testimony of James Comey, the former FBI Director, before the Senate Intelligence Committee in June 2017. During his testimony, Comey revealed that President Trump had asked him to drop the investigation into Michael Flynn, Trump's National Security Adviser at the time.

According to Comey, Trump made the request during a private meeting at the White House on February 14, 2017. Comey wrote in his memoir "A Higher Loyalty" that Trump said:

"Hey, I hope you can let this go. Let Flynn go. He's a good guy. He didn't do anything wrong."

Comey testified that he was taken aback by the request and felt it was an attempt to obstruct justice. He also stated that he did not intend to drop the investigation and that he told Trump that he would not be able to do so.

Comey's testimony was significant because it provided evidence that Trump had attempted to interfere with the FBI's investigation into Flynn's actions, which were related to his contacts with Russian officials during the 2016 presidential campaign. The investigation was part of the broader probe into Russian interference in the election and potential collusion with the Trump campaign.

The testimony also sparked a heated debate about the extent to which Trump had attempted to influence the investigation and whether he had committed obstruction of justice. The Mueller investigation, which was launched in May 2017, ultimately concluded that Trump had not committed obstruction of justice, but the report did not exonerate him and instead described his actions as "problematic."

It's worth noting that Trump has denied Comey's account, claiming that he never asked Comey to drop the investigation and that Comey's testimony was "false." However, Comey's testimony was corroborated by other witnesses, including former FBI officials who were present during the meeting.
