How to watch James Comey testimony if you don't have a TV
Can't be near a TV to watch former FBI director James Comey's testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee Thursday? Cord cutters who don't want to miss the political event of the summer can livestream on various platforms.
Bloomberg News has teamed with Twitter to stream Comey's much-anticipated appearance on Capitol Hill, scheduled for 10 a.m. ET, on Twitter on the @business and @Twitter accounts. (BTW, you can also watch on usatoday.com.)
More than a dozen media organizations plan to stream the testimony live on their Facebook pages, too, according to the social network. Among them: ABC News, ATTN, BuzzFeed, Daily Caller, Fox News, Free Beacon, IJR, NBC News, NowThis, NPR, Politico, TEGNA, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Townhall media, Tribune Broadcasting and Vox. (Just search for the outlet on Facebook.)

In case you forgot, Comey was fired by President Trump last month. Democrats will likely ask Comey whether he was fired to hinder the Federal Bureau of Investigation's probe into Russian meddling with the 2016 election.
Half an hour before the hearing (at 9:30 a.m. ET), Bloomberg Television anchors David Westin and David Gura, and Bloomberg's Senior White House Correspondent Margaret Talev will begin coverage. They will also continue the broadcast at 1 p.m. ET, when Comey is scheduled to appear in a non-televised closed session.
Bloomberg Television currently streams three daily live shows on Twitter, all part of their deal, announced last month, to launch a round-the-clock streaming news network this fall.
