Comey known as prolific note-taker – could more memos emerge? – By Jake Gibson/ May 17 2017
Fired FBI Director James Comey is well-known among his former colleagues as a prolific memo-writer, opening the possibility that more documents related to discussions between Comey and President Trump could emerge.
Comey’s notes and memos already were being sought by Congress, and could be considered a resource as well for the FBI probe now being overseen by newly appointed special counsel Robert Mueller.
A statement from the Justice Department said he would oversee the probe “of Russian government efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election and related matters.”

One Comey confidant told Fox News that the former FBI chief had made a “habit of memorializing important discussions he had with senior officials” over his decades-long law enforcement career. The source did not confirm the existence of more memos, but said it “stands to reason” that Comey made other notes about meetings with Trump.
