Trump tweeted Friday, “James Comey better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”
Trump fired Comey on Tuesday, later saying that “he wasn’t doing a good job.”
In the termination letter to Comey, Trump thanked him for telling the president “three times” that he personally is not under investigation for collusion with Russia during his 2016 campaign.
Trump said in an NBC News interview Thursday that Comey told him once over dinner and twice by telephone that he isn’t under investigation.
Comey has not commented since he was fired.
Trump reiterated his view that reports about collusion with the Russian government by members of his 2016 campaign are “fabricated.”
The president tweeted early Friday that “Again, the story that there was collusion between the Russians & Trump campaign was fabricated by Dems as an excuse for losing the election.”
He added, “The Fake Media is working overtime today!”
In an interview with NBC News Thursday, Trump said he asked FBI Director James Comey point-blank if he was under investigation and was assured three times he was not.
Trump sent Comey a letter Tuesday firing him. In it, he thanked Comey for the three assurances.
Trump showed no concern that the request might be viewed as interference in an active FBI probe.
Mafia Don is threatening a former director of the FBI?? Talk about a death wish…
DrAIN the swamp and impeach the chief of swamp who does not know anything but alternative facts
Don’t get it. If Comey did say to him that he is not under FBI Investigation than having a tape will only proof what he claims.
The statements made by Trump get more bizarre every day.
How could there not be tapes?
If there are any tapes, it should be locked away until the special investigation committee will ask for it.
One day day we will find out what Trump did illegal and the tapes will be needed…..
Trump is playing media and liberals like a flute…
The ghost of Richard Nixon a”h is laughing.
It’s not a good time in history to have a vacuum in the White House. Hashem Yishmor.
