He said Trump pressured him to drop a Russia-related probe into former national security adviser Michael Flynn and fired him when that didn't happen.
Like most lawmakers, Rubio does not doubt that Comey felt pressured by the president.
The Senate committee sent a request for Comey's memos from the Federal Bureau of Investigation on and a separate request to the White House for any records kept by Trump, on May 17.
Comey on Thursday told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he was sacked by Trump in May over his handling of alleged Russian meddling in the USA election and possible ties between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.
Trump said Comey's testimony also vindicated him from allegations that he colluded with Russian Federation to meddle with the '16 USA presidential poll.
"I am not hinting at anything", Trump said, twice declining to elaborate.
"To the extent they exist now", the committee requested copies by June 23.
On Friday, the House Intelligence Committee sent letters to White House counsel Don McGahn, asking "whether any White House recordings or memoranda of Comey's conversations with President Trump now exist or have in the past". The former FBI director's testimony could also prompt an expansion of the ongoing investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller, said Carole Rendon, former United States attorney for the Northern District of Ohio. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the committee, both said Thursday they believed Comey's account of the events.
Comey said Thursday the president's tweet that said Comey "better hope that there are no "tapes" of their conversations had compelled him to share a memo he wrote.

If that's all true, one of the summer's biggest transfer sagas might have ended before it really got started. But, in an interview with Sunday morning programme Telefoot , Griezmann said: "The CAS sanction has come in".
Here's one: Is President Trump alleged to have done anything illegal or is this investigation just war, by any means necessary, against someone who has put a lot of swamp creatures out of power and out of work?
Richman's role in sharing details with a reporter of Comey's memo documenting his conversations with Trump will reportedly be addressed Monday, Politico and CNN reported on Friday.
Comey said he didn't feel it necessary to tell Sessions because he expected him to step down from the Russian investigation. Does Trump have the "tapes" he tweeted about against Comey, which Comey was hoping Trump would be issued a subpoena for?
"After former President Clinton met on the plane with the attorney general, I considered whether I should call for the appointment of a special counsel and decided that would be an unfair thing to do because I knew there was no case there", Comey testified, speaking of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server. "Even folks who have been his critics don't question his integrity, his commitment to the rule of law and his intelligence", Warner said.
If Trump hadn't violated all good sense and asked for a private session with Comey to ask (allegedly) for loyalty and for him to drop the Flynn investigation, Comey would have had little to testify about, given that he can't talk about the Russian Federation investigation.
WILLIAM BRANGHAM: This led to another question for the president. "And we're going to hand the gavel to Pelosi in 2018", McSally said, referring to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California. "And there would be nothing wrong if I did say it according to everybody that I've read today, but I did not say that", he added. Mueller is now looking at whether the president obstructed justice.
If Trump was to renege on his "100 per cent" pledge to testify under oath with Mueller, the special counsel could subpoena him.
Richman confirmed to multiple news outlets Thursday that he was the "friend" whom Comey enlisted to leak the memo to the press. "Of this comment Serratore writes: "'We had that thing.' Once more, the seducer asserts a shared intimacy that was not really there, attempting to ensnare his victim with an imputed complicity".
