White House officials told The Washington Post's Robert Costa "that President Trump does not plan to put down Twitter on Thursday. [He] may live tweet if he feels the need to respond." (Spoiler alert: He almost certainly will).

As part of the ongoing investigation into the Trump camp's ties to Russia, Comey will be questioned on reports that Trump tried to talk him out of investigating ousted National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Trump has additionally threatened Comey with "tapes" of their conversations, and reportedly told Russian officials he considers Comey to be a "nut job."
