The James Comey memos that leaked to the media and were a catalyst for the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller were more widely shared than previously known, three sources familiar with the matter tell Fox News.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sources identified former U.S. Attorney and special counsel\u00a0Patrick Fitzgerald<\/a>\u00a0as the likely recipient, and did not rule out a third individual, in addition to Columbia law professor Daniel Richman, who shared contents with the media. The memos documenting Comey\u2019s private conversations with the president are now the subject of a Justice Department Inspector General review over the presence of classified information.<\/p>\n

Patrick Fitzgerald is a longtime friend of Comey\u2019s and now his lawyer, as first reported\u00a0by Talking Points Memo.<\/a>\u00a0Fitzgerald did not respond to emails or a voicemail seeking comment.<\/p>\n

Fox News asked Fitzgerald how many memos he received, if Comey, Richman or a third party provided them, whether they were stored securely because of classified contents, and whether the FBI took steps \u2014 to include his personal and business electronics \u2014 to mitigate the spill of classified information.\u00a0 In the event he did not receive any Comey memos, Fitzgerald was invited to provide an on the record statement to Fox News.<\/p>\n
