Did Comey ask for more funding or not?

Comey had pushed for more resources for Russia probe before being fired by Trump: source

Rosenstein: No evidence Comey asked for more resources for Russia probe

This is confusing and Comey has not been 100% scandal free.. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

The claim that he requested more resources for the investigation came from unnamed sources. What if it was a set up so that 45 can point to all of the terrible MSM outlets printing unfounded lies?
