Description

President Donald Trump on Thursday tweeted that he did not record his conversations with then-FBI Director James Comey, putting to rest one of the biggest lingering mysteries surrounding the drama between the president and the FBI head he later dismissed.The president and Comey spoke several times, both in person and on the phone.“Lordy, I hope there are tapes,” Comey told Congress during testimony earlier this month.The former FBI head said Trump asked for his “loyalty” during a January dinner, and that the president told him to "let it go" in regard to an investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Comey said in his testimony to Congress that he took that as a request from Trump to end the probe of Flynn.During a press conference earlier this month, Trump denied asking Comey for his loyalty and pushing for him to drop the Flynn investigation.http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/polit... http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
