Fox News's Jesse Watters said Tuesday night that the James Comey memo story is "a boring scandal" because it lacks video, audio, sex, money and "dead bodies."

The Watters commentary came after a bombshell New York Times report that President Trump asked then-FBI Director James Comey earlier this year to stop an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn, a request Comey documented in a written memo, according to two sources whom the Times's said saw the memo.

“If I went out tomorrow on the street and I asked 10 people who James Comey was, I’d probably maybe get three, maybe four who knew depending on the neighborhood,” said Watters while interviewing "Special Report" anchor Bret Baier on "The Five."

“This is a scandal with no video, with no audio, with no sex, with no money, with no dead bodies. It’s a boring scandal. No one knows the deputy [attorney general's] name, no one can pronounce the Russian defense minister’s name.”

Baier said that while many Americans likely prefer that lawmakers focus more attention on issues affecting the country, he still believes the Comey memo is potentially "a big story."

“I think that you’re right in that there is a large section of the country that would like Washington to work on something else,” said Baier. “But it is a big story, I mean, potentially.”

At another point of "The Five," Watters referred to Comey as a “drama queen."

The White House press office denied the president "asked Comey or anyone else to end any investigation," but did not make anyone available for interviews Tuesday night.

“While the president has repeatedly expressed his view that General Flynn is a decent man who served and protected our country, the president has never asked Mr. Comey or anyone else to end any investigation, including any investigation involving General Flynn,” a White House statement said.
