Several days later, Comey said, he woke up in the middle of the night and realized he had to take action.
'It didn't dawn on me, originally, that there might be corroboration for our conversation [there] might be a tape, my judgement was I needed get that out into the public square and so I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter,' he said.
He didn't leak to the media himself, he said, because he was worried it would be like 'feeding seagulls at the beach.'
