  NBC News anchor Lester Holt revealed what was on the paper President Trump handed to him at the outset of their interview on Thursday: a list of 20 Democratic quotes ripping FBI Director James Comey that Holt called a "fair point."
  On Friday's "Today" show, Holt reviewed his interview with Trump that delved into the president's surprising firing of Comey. Host Savannah Guthrie relayed that viewers noticed Trump hand Holt a document of some sort before they sat down.
  Holt brought the document to the studio, saying it was "five pages of quotes of Democrats who have been critical of Comey."
  Mirroring Trump, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders reeled off a list of Democrats who previously blasted Comey during Thursday's press briefing.
  Trump made considerable news during his interview with Holt, including contradicting his own White House's explanation on why he fired Comey by saying he planned to terminate him regardless of any Justice Department recommendation.
