Former FBI Director James Comey could testify publicly as early as next week about his conversations with President Trump, CNN reported Wednesday.

Comey has agreed to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee to discuss reports that Trump pressured him to stop the FBI’s investigation related to Russian election interference. A date for the hearing has not yet been set.

"The bottom line is he's going to testify," a source told CNN. "He's happy to testify, and he's happy to cooperate."

Comey has also reportedly spoken with former FBI Director Robert Mueller, who was named special counsel to investigate Russian election meddling, to talk about the parameters of his testimony.

The Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this month said it was eager to hear Comey's testimony.

"The Committee looks forward to receiving testimony from the former Director on his role in the development of the Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 US elections, and I am hopeful that he will clarify for the American people recent events that have been broadly reported in the media,” Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) said in a statement.

Trump fired Comey earlier this month. After the firing, reports surfaced that Trump asked Comey to end a federal investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Trump in the past has decried the Russia investigation as a "witch hunt."

Earlier this week, Trump tweeted that Russian officials are likely "laughing" at the U.S. about "how a lame excuse for why the Dems lost the election has taken over the Fake News."
