Looks like Lynch is accusing Comey of lying as well.
Comey is going to be run out of town
Comey is lying about the room too and who requested who in the initial meeting.
Rush Limbaugh today,

“Trump was requested by Comey. Did you know that? Comey tried to make everybody believe yesterday that Trump wanted to speak with him alone, and he thought, “I don’t know!” “Don’t leave me alone in the room with him,” he told Sessions.
“It’s just not normal.” It was Comey who asked for the room to be cleared at Trump Tower on January 6th.
It was Comey who requested a solitary meeting with Trump. Now, Trump had invited him up there. Comey was with a bunch of other people in the intel community.
It was when that endless parade of people was going in and out of Trump Tower. But it was Comey who requested a lone meeting, a private meeting and ushered everybody out of the room.”

One other thing. Trump likely has a recording system ready to go inside his office at Trump Tower. All trump had to do was push a button when Comey wanted the room cleared to be alone with him.
