About the photographs, Mr. Comey said he wasn’t aware that any existed. “I have never hugged or kissed the man,” he said. “Again, I’m an admirer but not that kind of admirer.”
Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York, asked, “Are you best friends with Robert Mueller?”
“I am not,” Mr. Comey replied. “I admire the heck out of the man, but I don’t know his phone number, I’ve never been to his house, I don’t know his children’s names. I think I had a meal once alone with him in a restaurant. I like him.”
Mr. Nadler thanked Mr. Comey and said he would not ask “whether you’ve ever hugged and kissed him.”
“A relief to my wife,” Mr. Comey replied.
He was quizzed on the history of elections
At one point, questioning turned to text exchanges between the F.B.I. agent Peter Strzok, who had overseen an investigation into Mr. Trump’s campaign, and Lisa Page, an F.B.I. lawyer.
Representative Trey Gowdy, Republican of South Carolina, said that one text from March 2016 read, “Hillary should win 100 million to zero.”
“In the course of human history, has anyone won an election 100 million to zero, to your knowledge?” Mr. Gowdy asked.
