Fox News now too confirms the existence of the "Comey memo".
Comey was prodigious note-taker; more memos may exist, sources say
Quote:
In February, Comey wrote in a memo that Trump had asked him to
shut down the investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael
Flynn. The memo's existence was first reported Tuesday by The New York
Times and was confirmed by Fox News Wednesday.

Also, from the same article:
Quote:
Following the memo's release, some congressional Republicans
criticized Comey for not reporting the conversation with Trump to his
superiors at the Justice Department. However, a former U.S. government
official told Fox News, "That's not how it works."
Comey was conducting an investigation as to whether President Trump was
colluding with the Russian government," the official said. "He’s not going to
stop that in order to blow the whistle on a smaller crime (obstruction of justice)."
