At Thursday’s hearing, Comey said that he took notes of his meetings with Trump because he was “honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting.” A day earlier, Kasowitz indicated that Trump is not worried about Comey’s testimony. “The president is pleased that Mr. Comey has finally publicly confirmed his private reports that the President was not under investigation in any Russia probe,” Kasowitz wrote in a statement. “The president feels completely and totally vindicated. He is eager to continue to move forward with his agenda.” _Watch Kasowitz’s statement, which is slated to begin following the Comey hearing, above._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4811163/marc-kasowitz-donald-trump-lawyer-james-comey/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4811163/marc-kasowitz-donald-trump-lawyer-james-comey/"},"headline":"Watch Live: President Trump's Lawyer Marc Kasowitz Speaks Following James Comey's Testimony","datePublished":"2017-06-08T16:34:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T05:20:13.889Z","description":"The attorney previously said Trump felt vindicated after reading Comey's opening statement","url":"https://time.com/4811163/marc-kasowitz-donald-trump-lawyer-james-comey/","keywords":["James Comey","White House","FBI","Donald Trump","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltab5931ddaaf860b7/6988d0cb0b72e307c06ee277/jame-comey-fbi-testimony-washington-dc-002.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Aric Jenkins","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/aric-jenkins/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltab5931ddaaf860b7/6988d0cb0b72e307c06ee277/jame-comey-fbi-testimony-washington-dc-002.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"US-POLITICS-CONGRESS-INTELLIGENCE","caption":"US-POLITICS-CONGRESS-INTELLIGENCE","creditText":"Brendan Smialowski—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/james-comey/","name":"James Comey"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4811163/marc-kasowitz-donald-trump-lawyer-james-comey/","name":"Watch Live: President Trump's Lawyer Marc Kasowitz Speaks Following James Comey's Testimony"}}]}] ```
