President Trump made a brazen attempt on Thursday morning to mislead the public about his previous statements regarding why he fired then-FBI Director James Comey in May 2017 amid an active FBI investigation of his campaign.

Trump asserted on Twitter that Comey’s firing had nothing to do with that investigation.

“Not that it matters but I never fired James Comey because of Russia!” Trump tweeted. “The Corrupt Mainstream Media loves to keep pushing that narrative, but they know it is not true!”
