This is AP News Minute.

Former FBI Director James Comey says President Donald Trump¹ told him "I need loyalty², I expect loyalty" during an awkward conversation at a January dinner at the White House. This comes from documents released a day ahead of Comey's highly anticipated testimony³ before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Trump announced a trillion-dollar infrastructure⁴ plan Wednesday in Ohio to create a first-class system of roads, bridges and waterways. The White House has yet to outline specifics of the plan, which it hopes to achieved largely through public-private partnerships⁵.

Bill Cosby's chief accuser is denying any prior romance between them before he allegedly drugged and assaulted her. Andrea Constand was back on the stand for a second day where she was questioned by one of Cosby's lawyers who was trying to pick apart her story.

And a bank robber in Maryland stole a backhoe and drove it around five miles in an attempt to rob an ATM. But despite his extreme efforts, police say the suspect didn't get any money but caused about 10,000 dollars worth of damage to the ATM.

Suzanne Yee Gaffney, the Associated Press with AP News Minute.
