Former FBI Director James Comey said that he plans to fight a congressional order calling on him to appear for a deposition.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) issued subpoenas on Nov. 22 to Comey and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, according to documents published by reporters from CNN and Politico. The subpoenas call on Comey and Lynch to appear for closed-door depositions on Dec. 3 and Dec. 4, respectively.
