Former FBI Director James Comey testified before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence this morning at approximately 10 a.m. It was the first time Comey spoke publicly since being fired by President Donald Trump nearly a month ago.

The Senate committee is looking into the circumstances around Comey's dismissal and how they relate to the FBI investigation of Russian interference in the U.S. election.

Online, NPR journalists covering national security and politics are annotating Comey's opening remarks, which the Senate Intelligence Committee released in advance yesterday.
