A transcript of Comey's prepared testimony was released late Wednesday afternoon, on the eve of his nationally televised 10 a.m. Thursday testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
In the statement, Comey detailed what he wrote in notes from one-on-one meetings with Trump prior to his firing. In the statement, Comey confirmed Trump asked Comey to pledge loyalty to him and also asked Comey to drop the investigation of fired former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
Trump also reportedly called Comey a "nut job" in a meeting with Russian diplomats the day after the firing, saying the move would "ease pressure" on the Russian investigation.
Comey formerly lived in Westport, having bought a home a home on Westway Road in 2010. He sold that home in January at a loss.
