I believe that is why he stated it as privileged information. It was comey's Privilege to share private audience with the president as then director of the FBI. This was a professional meeting in one of the most secure government offices in the united states.

He hasn't told a single lie.
Let's remember who the liar in the situation.

Actually he did.. He testified to Congress at the beginning of May that he was not pressured to end any investigations. He also stated Trumps tweet about "recordings" was the reason Comey leaked his memo to the NYT. The problem is Comey leaked that memo on the 11th and the tweet in question was not made until the 12th.
Ih Comey can predict the future then we never should have had a hack by Russia.
Mr. Comey said he decided to make the conversation public through an intermediary after Mr. Trump said on Twitter that the former F.B.I. director had better hope there were no tapes of their discussions. He said he did so with the explicit hope of triggering the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Russian election interference.
“I woke up in the middle of the night on Monday night, ‘cause it didn’t dawn on me originally that there might be corroboration for our conversation; there might be a tape,” Mr. Comey said, referring to May 15. “And my judgment was I needed to get that out in the public square so I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter. Didn’t do it myself for a variety of reasons but I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel. So I asked a close friend of mine to do it.”
By Mr. Comey’s account, his answer to Mr. Trump’s initial question apparently did not satisfy the president, the associates said. Later in the dinner, Mr. Trump again said to Mr. Comey that he needed his loyalty. Mr. Comey again replied that he would give him “honesty” and did not pledge his loyalty, according to the account of the conversation. But Mr. Trump pressed him on whether it would be “honest loyalty.” “You will have that,” Mr. Comey told his associates he responded.

NYT - In a Private Dinner, Trump Demanded Loyalty. Comey Demurred. - By MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT MAY 11, 2017
The memo about the one on one meeting was printed by the NYT on the 11th of May. Trumps tweet about recordings was the 12th.
Comey claimed he leaked the memo in response to Trumps tweet - Comey lied.

and if you look at the NYT article I linked you to, which is the memo that was leaked, it was posted by the NYT on MAY 11th.
Care to explain?
