Comey will testify next Thursday, June 8, at 10 a.m. during an open hearing on Russian election interference. Comey was leading the investigation into the interference, as well as possible collusion between members of President Trump’s campaign and Moscow, when he was fired by the president last month.

Reports since Comey’s firing have indicated that the president was looking for reasons to fire Comey since he took over the White House, fueling speculation that Trump was seeking to interfere in the investigation.

Comey is expected to testify about his interaction with the president around the investigation.

Sessions and Rosenstein reportedly met to discuss replacing Comey months ago, before either joined the Justice Department, and also discussed Comey’s "deeply troubling" performance and "serious mistakes" with the president in February, according to ABC.
