"I think if the president inappropriately tried to interfere with any type of investigation that he should be held accountable for that," Stewart said on CNN's "New Day."

"Is it illegal? Is is obstruction? I don't know the answer to that. I don't think we have near enough information to draw that conclusion yet."

His comments come ahead of former FBI Director James Comey's highly anticipated appearance before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

A recent report said Comey won't testify that Trump obstructed justice in the FBI's investigation into the Russian meddling in the presidential race.

A source familiar with Comey's thinking told ABC News that Comey will not say Trump interfered with the FBI's investigation but will dispute Trump's assertion that the former FBI director told him three times that he is not under investigation.

“He is not going to Congress to make accusations about the president’s intent, instead he’s there to share his concerns,” the source told ABC News.

According to The Washington Post, Trump asked Coats about interfering in the FBI's investigation of potential ties between the Trump campaign and Russia less than a week after being confirmed by the Senate in March.
