Comey said a February NY Times story claiming contacts between Trump associates and Russia was "almost entirely wrong"

“In the main, it was not true," Comey replied. "The challenge, and I'm not picking on reporters, about writing on classified information is: The people talking about it often don't really know what's going on, and those of us who actually know what's going on are not talking about it."

He added, "And we don't call the press to say, ‘Hey, you got that thing wrong about this sensitive topic.' We just have to leave it there."

Sen. Tom Cotton later returned to the Times’ story, asking Comey if the report was “almost entirely wrong.”  https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2017/06/08/comey-agrees...
