Here’s their actual interaction at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in May, which “Fox & Friends” aired Sunday and which Trump presumably watched (emphasis by The Washington Post):

GRASSLEY: Director Comey, have you ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation?

COMEY: Never.

GRASSLEY: Question two, relatively related, have you ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation?

COMEY: No.

Even quoted accurately, that testimony could be a problem for Comey in light of McCabe’s statement last week, if not the smoking gun Trump portrayed it as.
