Mr. Jordan. Yes, the dossier.

Mr. Comey. Yeah. I don't -- the reason I'm hesitating is there was a portion of the Steele reporting that was the subject of my private meeting with the President-elect during the prior session. I don't know whether any of the Steele materials were referenced there.

And the reason I'm hesitating, Mr. Jordan, is there was a reference to the materials in part of the written report, the intelligence community assessment that General Clapper left with the President-elect.

Mr. Jordan. That's where I wanted to go. So the dossier you don't think was talked in the general -- talked about in the bigger, larger, general briefing, but a portion of it was discussed when you met with the President-elect alone.

Mr. Comey. That's correct.

Mr. Jordan. And the portion was the salacious part about the Russian hotel.

Mr. Comey. Correct, the --

Mr. Jordan. Okay.

Mr. Comey. -- stuff about -- the alleged stuff about the prostitutes.
