James Comey Memos: 'Vladimir Putin Boasted About Russian Prostitutes to Donald Trump'

Washington, April 20: In a revelation which is likely to cause embarrassment to the US President and his Russian counterpart in the geopolitical circles, former FBI chief James Comey in his memos said Donald Trump was told by Vladimir Putin that Russia has some of the "most beautiful prostitutes in the world".

Putin's boast about Russian prostitutes was revealed to Comey by none other than Trump, who met the ex-FBI boss on a total of seven occasions in person during their short stint of working together.

Comey said the nature of Trump's conversations with him were such that he is compelled to pen it down, rather than record it as a verbal statement. "What I heard from the President was unnerving," he said.

In other revelations, Comey in his memos said Trump wanted him to drop the case against former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, who is accused of being hand-in-glove with Russia in it's alleged meddling in the US presidential elections.

Comey further claimed that Trump had candidly asked him about the possibility of "jailing journalists". The accusation fans the allegations levelled by CNN and other Centre-Left oriented media outlets against the US president, charging him of being against the freedom of press.

Trump, in retaliation, has accused Comey of making false and defamatory allegations against him. "So General Michael Flynn’s life can be totally destroyed while Shadey James Comey can Leak and Lie and make lots of money from a third rate book (that should never have been written). Is that really the way life in America is supposed to work? I don’t think so! (sic)," the President said.
