Former FBI Director James Comey was "taken aback" by President Donald Trump's request for a personal assurance or pledge of loyalty at a dinner shortly after he took office, a source close to Comey told CNN Friday.
Comey refused to do so, saying he could not provide such a pledge -- those who work at the FBI pledge their loyalty to the US Constitution, not to any individual person -- but he promised to always be honest with the President.
Trump then asked if Comey would pledge "honest loyalty," to which the FBI director agreed. The source said the term "honest loyalty" doesn't necessarily mean anything.
