Comey stated that he was confident that Russia had in some way attempted to interfere with the 2016 presidential election cycle.

Senator Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., asked Comey's opinion about the Trump Administration's claim that no such interference happened, to which Comey replied that "there should be no fuzz on this whatsoever."

"The Russians interfered in our election during the 2016 cycle. They did with purpose. They did it with sophistication. They did it with overwhelming technical efforts. It was an active measures campaign driven from the top of that government," stated Comey.
