Trump acknowledges no recordings of his conversations with James Comey
Trump acknowledged Thursday that he had not recorded his conversations with James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director he fired amid the Justice Department’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russia.
His early morning tweet confirmed the suspicions of outsiders that Trump had been leveling a baseless threat at Comey on May 12, when he wrote, “James Comey better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”
This month, Comey testified in detail about those conversations, saying that Trump had appealed to him on multiple occasions not to pursue an investigation of his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and his alleged links to Russian officials.
Asked during the Senate hearing whether he worried about the existence of tapes, Comey famously replied, “Lordy, I hope there are tapes.”
