• The testimony occurred in a closed-door setting, but lawmakers released a redacted transcript of the proceedings on Saturday.

• President Donald Trump often accuses the pair of being "best friends," and once even said that there are 100 pictures of Comey and Mueller "hugging and kissing each other."
