https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/us/politics/trump-russia-comey.htmlWASHINGTON President Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office this month that firing the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, had relieved great pressure on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting.
I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job, Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. I faced great pressure because of Russia. Thats taken off.
Mr. Trump added, Im not under investigation.

Amazing and hilarious - what is frightening though is his disloyalty to America.
What do the Russians have on him?

well that along with evidence that he laundered money for the Russian mob for decades, through his casinos and real estate holdings.
(but those are just guesses, mind you....)
