He claims Comey told him over dinner, while discussing Comey staying on in his job, that he wasn't under investigation.
Then, supposedly, Trump asked twice more in phone conversations, and got the same answer.
He also claims that he knew he wasn't under investigation anyway (yet he asked three times?) because when someone is under investigation, the FBI gives them a lot of documents about it.
Edit: On hearing it again, it seems he said when someone is under investigation, that person gives the FBI a lot of documents. Because the FBI doesn't believe in doing anything secret and wants everybody to have time to fire up the shredders.

Is Trump lying or did you do something very inappropriate?

(12,904 posts)He surely knew to record Comeys statement, or to have Comey sign a declaration.
Didn't he?

(17,984 posts)I would tell the MSM that, Yes, assuring tRump he was not under investigation would be a breach of ethics for which I should be fired, but it was lucky that I did not do so.

(42,757 posts)His handlers had the right idea recently keeping him out of the public view.
They must know his mental state is deteriorating.

(9,067 posts)I saw an excerpt of the interview. He's either a seriously demented liar or else he's hearing voices.
It makes no sense if he's sane.
