On Sunday Morning Futures this morning Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), the current Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, told host Maria Bartiromo he expects fired FBI Chief James Comey to withdraw his motion on Sunday to appear in public before the committee.

On Sunday morning fired FBI Director James Comey announced he will testify before the House Judiciary Committee in private.

Comey tweeted: Grateful for a fair hearing from judge. Hard to protect my rights without being in contempt, which I don’t believe in. So will sit in the dark, but Republicans agree I’m free to talk when done and transcript released in 24 hours. This is the closest I can get to public testimony.
