Wittes wrote on Twitter that the upcoming story could be published later Friday or on Monday. The heads-up comes a day after Trump revealed that he was bluffing last month when he suggested that he had recorded his conversations with Comey.
May 16 appears to be his first time Wittes previewed Comey stories.
Hours after Wittes posted the foreboding message that day, The Times published a shocking story: “Comey Memo Says Trump Asked Him To End Flynn Investigation.”
The piece cited a memo that Comey filed just after a Feb. 14 meeting he had with Trump at the White House. In the meeting, Comey claimed that Trump asked him to back off of an investigation into Michael Flynn, the retired lieutenant general who Trump had fired as national security adviser the previous day.
Wittes was not the source of the memo. Columbia law school professor Daniel Richman, another friend of Comey’s, shared the document with The Times after being provided a copy by the former FBI chief.
Richman has since given the memos to the FBI.
Wittes tweeted a series of “ticks” two days later, on May 18. Wittes was an on-the-record source for that article, also written by Times reporter Michael S. Schmidt.

Going to finally arrest Hillary?
It’s the big one!
What, NYT helped the Swamp Adder write a better lie? A pox on Comey’s tongue and Twitter fingers.
He never suggested he had recorded anything.
This stuff is getting old and tired.
Comey write another diary entry...um...memo recollecting his personal “feelings” on what POTUS wanted from him?
There is nothing. POTUS did not collude with Russians to win the election or obstruct justice. This is the biggest fairytale ever.
There was no memo.
Anything claimed to be in the memo are lies to trigger a special counsel and push a false narrative.
This. The comment was very general and could have meant SOMEONE, not the President, recorded the conversation. Or no one. MSM is just stupid.
Comey spoke to Congress, if he had something important or relevant to say he would have said it already
Looks like Comey is falling into Trump’s latest trap, again. Just as Trump never said he recorded Comey, he never said there are no tapes.
If Comey changes his story now it will not go well for him. He already had his chance under oath . . . at a minimum he will lose whatever credibility he has left.
renew America’s sedition laws and make the penalties severe
Another thing I say most Americans especially Trump voters think Comey and his cronies are corrupt and part of the swamp.
The dems can’t BUY a win, and the media just can’t let this go...RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA. It’s utter nonsense. Let them keep talking to themselves, nobody else is listening.

Agreed.
Trump is going to get Comey on record and then reveal that he only said HE didn’t record the meeting and that HE didn’t have any “tapes”
