The White House on Monday said President Donald Trump will not be invoke executive privilege regarding the testimony of former FBI Director James Comey. "However, in order to facilitate a swift and thorough examination of the facts sought by the Senate intelligence committee, President Trump will not assert executive privilege regarding James Comey's scheduled testimony", said a statement issued by the White House. Comey, who was sacked by Trump last month, is scheduled to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday. Comey, who was leading the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, was allegedly asked by Trump to end an investigation into former national security advisor Michael Flynn, according to a memo Comey wrote about his encounter with Trump. Comey will appear before the Senate intelligence committee on Thursday, with lawmakers seeking answers as to whether he believes the President sought to obstruct his Russian Federation probe or demanded his loyalty before he fired Comey. He will face a barrage of questions from Republican and Democratic lawmakers about the circumstances of his firing, as well as allegations that Trump tried to get Comey to shelve the investigation of his aides. "The President's power to assert executive privilege is well-established". White House advisers previously stated that Trump was considering his legal options involving Comey's testimony. "The press has reported that both of those individuals had some level of pressure from the president to downplay the Russian investigation", Intel Committee Vice-Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) told CBS on Sunday.

Security Measures Boosted in Manila Following Deadly Attack on Casino Complex The ministry said the South Korean victim suffered an apparent heart attack while resting after the evacuation early Friday. At least 37 people have been killed after a "white, English-speaking" masked gunman targeted a casino in Manila . The president later called Comey "a showboat" and "a grandstander". All this leads to the news that's sure to disappoint Plinko fans, and captivate just about everybody else: the networks are going live with Comey on Thursday. Russian President Vladimir Putin says claims about Russian involvement in US elections are untrue, and says the United States actively interferes with elections in other countries. In the weeks since, associates of Comey have said the former director felt uncomfortable about efforts by Trump to compromise the bureau's traditional independence. The White House has denied the president made that request. He later tweeted that Comey better hope there are no "tapes" of their conversations.

Bivši ravnatelj FBI-a James Comey kojeg je predsjednik Donald Trump otpustio, svjedočit će 8. lipnja u američkom Senatu o ruskom uplitanju u američku predsjedničku kampanju 2016. Saslušanje koje javnost nestrpljivo iščekuje, bit će javno i održat će se u 10.00 sati (16.00 sati po srednjoeuropskom vremenu) pred senatskim obavještajnim odborom, objavilo je to tijelo u četvrtak. Nakon javnog slijedi saslušanje iza zatvorenih vrata pred 15 članova odbora, republikanaca i demokrata koji imaju pravo na pristup tajnim vojnim podatcima. Comey će svjedočiti u vezi s eventualnim dosluhom između članova izbornog stožera Donalda Trumpa i Rusije, budući da je to pitanje bilo obuhvaćeno istragom koju je nadgledao sve do svoje iznenadne smjene 9. svibnja. Bivšeg ravnatelja, koji nije progovorio u javnosti nakon te smjene koja je uzdrmala Sjedinjene Države, saslušat će i zastupnici koji žele provjeriti je li Trump doista činio pritisak na FBI kako bi usmjerio istragu u vezi s Rusijom. Više glasila je izvijestilo kako je Comey u svojim bilješkama naveo da je Trump tražio od njega da "prekine" istragu o svom bivšem savjetniku za nacionalnu sigurnost Michaelu Flynnu, jednom od glavnih protagonista ruskog slučaja. Predsjednik je zanijekao bilo kakvu intervenciju, kao i bilo kakav dosluh s Moskvom. Comeyjev nasljednik na dužnosti ravnatelja savezne policije još nije imenovan. No u međuvremenu, istraga o ruskom upletanju i o eventualnom dosluhu povjerena je ministarstvu pravosuđa i posebnom državnom tužitelju Robertu Muelleru, koji je isto bio na čelu FBI-a, a slovi kao neovisan.
