"It damaged relationships with the [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] court, the intelligence communities. It's just a wreck," he continued.

The committee on Friday released a Republican-authored report that said it found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

The former FBI director pushed back on the report on Sunday, calling it politically motivated.

"That is not my understanding of what the facts were before I left the FBI, and I think the most important piece of work is the one the special counsel's doing now. This strikes me as a political document," Comey said.

Comey is currently promoting his memoir, "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership."
