Mike Pence Abruptly Cancels PBS Interview After Comey Testimony Is Released

Just moments after Comey’s prepared opening remarks to the Senate Intelligence Committee were posted to the United States Senate website, Vice President Mike Pence abruptly canceled a planned interview with PBS Newshour.

Pence’s cancellation came shortly after former FBI Director James Comey made public his prepared opening remarks ahead of his scheduled testimony to Congress on Thursday.

Among other things, Comey’s explosive remarks confirm earlier media reports that Trump pressured him to “let go” of the bureau’s investigation into ousted national security adviser, Michael Flynn.
