President Trump said FBI Director James B. Comey told him three times he wasnt under investigation - once at a White House dinner when Comey was seeking to remain in his post, and in two phone calls, including one initiated by the president, according to an interview with NBC News.
In the interview, Trump made clear it was his idea to fire the FBI director earlier this week. Trump fired Comey on Tuesday, after receiving a memorandum from the deputy attorney general criticizing Comeys handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. Regardless of recommendation I was going to fire Comey, said Trump.
The president said Comey told him on three occasions that the FBI was not investigating Trump, offering more details of an assertion he made in his letter dismissing the FBI director.
I said, If its possible would you let me know am I under investigation? He said You are not under investigation.
