By saying that President Donald Trump invited him to the January 27 dinner at lunchtime that day, former FBI Director James Comey’s account puts the invitation one day after Former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates  first alerted the White House about her concerns about National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. 

This is the dinner during which Comey said Trump asked the FBI director for loyalty, making Comey feel like his job was being held over him. 

The Oval Office meeting during which Trump asked Comey to lay off Flynn came weeks later on Feb 14.
