... “With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea whether there are ‘tapes’ or recordings of my conversations with James Comey, but I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings,” Trump said ...

“ ‘Bluff’ is a generous term ... sharper words also come to mind,” Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Democrat, wrote ...

Trump .. had .. refused to respond when asked if recordings existed. He provided the answer a day before a deadline set by .. leaders of the House Intelligence Committee ...

They showed Comey was right on so they got rid of them. Now he covers himself by carefully saying his weird statement that "He didn't make and he doesn't have" tapes and doesn't know if any exist. Can't wait til Mueller gets a few of his staff in the interrogation room to ask about this. Nothing Trump has said tells us there are no tapes or weren't any tapes. Why would he mention the possibility weeks ago? Do you actually think he is smart enough to think faking their existence would change Comey's testimony about his meetings with Trump?
