Trump denies asking FBI director to go easy on Flynn [View all]
Trump denied any attempt to obstruct an FBI investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn on Sunday, while lawmakers said the president's own comments raised new questions about him and the probe into Russians who interfered in last year's presidential election.
During a weekend-long series of tweets following Flynn's guilty plea for lying to the FBI, Trump attacked the FBI in general and former Director James Comey over different aspects of the Russia investigation, including Flynn's role.
"I never asked Comey to stop investigating Flynn," Trump tweeted. "Just more Fake News covering another Comey lie!"
Comey testified under oath to Congress after his dismissal that Trump asked him to go easy on Flynn.
