Among the disclosures in the memos is a Feb. 8, 2017, encounter in which Trump confronted Comey about the contents of a dossier prepared by a former British intelligence agent purportedly describing Trump's involvement with prostitutes during a 2013 visit in Moscow.

 

"The president brought up the 'Golden Shower Thing' and said it really bothered him if his wife had any doubt about it," Comey said, recounting the conversation. "The president said that 'the hookers thing' is nonsense but that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin had told him 'we have some of the most beautiful hookers in the world.'"

Comey said that he did not know when Trump had spoken with Putin, but the timing of the account suggested that it was shortly after the dossier was made public in early January 2017, just before Trump's inauguration. 

At that same Feb. 8 meeting, which Comey also described in an interview with USA TODAY,  Comey also recounted having seriously crossed Trump when he challenged the president's comments to Fox News that Russia and America were similar in that both harbored "killers."

"I don't know what to make of it, but (Trump) clearly noticed I had directly challenged him," Comey said in the memo.

At that point, Comey indicated in the USA TODAY interview, that he may have gone from potential ally to enemy of the president.

Trump tweeted that the released memos "show clearly that there was NO COLLUSION and NO OBSTRUCTION."
