It also raises new questions for Comey. The Times also reported Comey did not tell Sessions or anyone else in the Justice Department about the Flynn conversation, instead only informing his closest advisers. It’s unclear why Comey declined to do so—one possible explanation is that he did not want to make the attorney general a witness in a possible criminal matter. Comey also documented the incident in one of numerous memos he kept detailing his interactions with Trump. Those memos are now in the possession of Robert Mueller, the special counsel appointed last month to oversee the Russia investigation and any related matters.

Tuesday’s report by the Times also adds to the emerging picture of the president’s simmering rage at a growing federal investigation into his election that is increasingly beyond his ability to control and influence. Trump has railed against the inquiries as a “witch hunt” and a plot by Democrats and the media to reverse the outcome of a presidential election now tainted by allegations of Moscow’s interference.

His outrage has reportedly extended beyond mere complaints. Multiple news outlets have described the president’s efforts to personally woo the FBI director, which reportedly included requests for pledges of loyalty and for Comey to say Trump wasn’t personally under investigation. CNN reported Tuesday that Comey will tell the Senate Intelligence Committee he gave the president no such assurances—a direct contraction of claims Trump made in the May 9 letter informing Comey he had been fired.

Trump’s efforts to assert his authority over Comey eventually drew in other top federal officials. On Tuesday, The Washington Post reported the president complained to Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and NSA Director Mike Rogers about Comey’s inquiries and asked them to intervene to halt them. The conversation reportedly took place when Trump asked both men to stay behind by themselves after an intelligence briefing on March 22, two days after Comey publicly informed Congress about the federal investigation into Russian interference and possible collusion by Trump campaign officials.

Comey is far from the only target of Trump’s ire. ABC News reported Tuesday that Sessions, a former Alabama senator and the current U.S. attorney general, offered to resign at one point in response to Trump’s simmering frustration with his recusal from the Russia investigation in March. That report followed a Times article on Monday detailing tensions between the two men that have shaped how the president views a Justice Department he now publicly criticizes even as it defends his most controversial actions in court.

Sessions’s reported resignation threat marks the lowest point yet in the odd relationship between the New York real-estate businessman and the Alabama lawyer. The staunchly conservative senator aligned himself with Donald Trump’s campaign when almost every other Republican elected official treated the future president as if he were radioactive. Sessions gave Trump his implicit stamp of approval in August 2015 when he appeared at a rally in Mobile, Alabama, and donned one of Trump’s signature red “Make America Great Again” hats.
