that is what you do.

COOPER: Welcome back to our 360 Town Hall with former FBI Director James Comey. He is also the author of a book, "A Higher Loyalty," which is now out in paperback with a whole brand-new forward.
We've been getting questions from our audience. We'll go back to the audience in just a second. I want to ask you about the Steele dossier. Just today, Rudy Giuliani was raising questions about how well you, the FBI, vetted the dossier. Giuliani tweeted, quote, "Comey told @realdonaldtrump that Steele dossier was unverified, but he had it for five months after and never tried to verify it. If he did, he would have found out that Steele had not been in Russia for at least seven years. He deliberately avoided discovering the truth."
A, what do you think about what he says? And how much work did the FBI do to verify that dossier?
COMEY: Yeah, it's false in two respects. First, I told President Trump that the particular allegation about him being involved with prostitutes in Moscow was unverified, but I felt it important that he know about it.
More broadly, the bureau began an effort after we got the Steele dossier to try and see how much of it we could replicate. That work was ongoing when I was fired. Some of it was consistent with our other intelligence, the most important part. The Steele dossier said the Russians are coming for the American election. It's a huge effort. It has multiple goals that I laid out for the audience. And that was true.
There were a lot of spokes off of that that we didn't know whether they were true or false, and we were trying to figure out what we could make of it.
COOPER: You said that you had told President or then President-elect, I guess, Trump that it was unverified, the salacious aspects about the tapes.
COMEY: Yeah.
COOPER: George Stephanopoulos interviewed you two years -- or a year ago, when your first book came out, and I just want to play something you said about those -- about those tapes.
COMEY: OK.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you believe his denial?
COMEY: I honestly never thought these words would come out of my mouth, but I don't know whether the current president of the United States was with prostitutes peeing on each other in Moscow in 2013. It's possible, but I don't know.
