WASHINGTON President Donald Trump told a pair of Russian envoys that his abrupt decision to fire FBI Director James B. Comey whom he described as "crazy, a real nut job" had relieved "great pressure" on him because of the Russia investigation, according to a published report.
Adding to Trump's cascading legal and political woes, the FBI investigation reached directly into the White House for the first time Friday with a separate report that an unnamed Trump aide is under federal scrutiny as a person of significant interest.
The White House did not dispute either account, which created a new furor just as Trump was taking off from Andrews Air Force Base on his first official trip overseas, a nine-day visit to five countries in the Middle East and Europe.
Until now, the FBI probe was only known to be focused on whether members of Trump's campaign or other associates had colluded with Russian intelligence to interfere with the 2016 presidential race.

Personally I wouldnt be surprised in the least if the corruption extended deep into the ranks of the Repugnants as they are the type of people that would sell their country out if it meant more personal power and wealth for them and their friends.
