According to Comey memos, Putin told Trump about 'Russian hookers'
What's the story
Donald Trump's conversation with the now-former FBI director James Comey (which he noted and have been obtained by Associated Press), make startling revelations. For example, in one of the meetings, Trump told Comey that Russian President Vladimir Putin boasted of beautiful prostitutes in his country. The POTUS even discussed possibilities of jailing journalists and raised concerns about the former national security advisor Michael Flynn.

Russian meddling in elections and more: What's written in 15-page-document
Comey had earlier produced the 15-page-document to Justice special counsel Robert Mueller to help his investigation into Trump's alleged obstruction to probe Russian meddling in the Presidential elections. The former FBI chief noted unnerving conversations he had with Trump, in May 2017, weeks before he was sacked. The memos detail Trump's alleged demand to shut investigation on Michael Flynn and seek loyalty from Comey.

Apparently, Putin boasted about Russian hookers to Trump
In a February 2017 conversation in the Trump Tower, the President quoted Putin as, "We have some of the most beautiful hookers in the world." "The president brought up the 'Golden Shower Thing' and said it really bothered him if his wife had any doubt about it," Comey recounted the conversation. Trump has repeatedly distanced himself from the malicious allegations involving him and Moscow prostitutes.

Trump also doubted Flynn's judgement
According to another memo, Trump raised concerns about the judgement of Michael Flynn. The President allegedly pointed at Flynn, during a White House dinner, to blame him for his failure to alert him about a congratulatory message from a certain world leader. This led to a delay from Trump's reply to the leader. Comey wrote he did not comment on the matter then.

In a separate memo, Comey wrote Trump encouraged him to stop an investigation on Michael Flynn, referring to him as 'a good guy'. Flynn resigned on February 13, 2017, after he misled White House officials about his Russian contacts.
