>> did you call him? >> in one case, i called him. >> did you ask him, am i under investigation? >> i said, if it's possible, would you let me know, am i under investigation? >> he said, you are not under investigation. >> new reports contradict the president's claim. one current and two former fbi officials tell nbc news the white house summoned comey to dinner shortly after the inauguration. the president is not correct. the white house called him out of the blue. comey didn't want to do it. he didn't want the rank and file at the fbi to know about it. the former official added that he tried...

What the president really thought during campaign. >> the fbi director is fired immediately so i assume he is cleaning out his desk and moving on. >> this firing happened with him out of town so whatever letter was sent over to the fbi to deliver to him, he wasn't there. he had staff inform him of this decision. that's how much of a surprise this was. what gloria is talking about and what this letter entails is true. this is a concern felt throughout the justice department and whether comey overstepped his bounds and whether he was too attracted to the lime light, too much into drama. this is ...
