Trump Reverses Himself and Denies Firing Comey Over Russia Probe

President Donald Trump contradicted what he said in a televised interview last year on Thursday, denying that he fired former FBI Director James Comey over his role in the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election. "Not that it matters but I never fired James Comey because of Russia! The Corrupt Mainstream Media loves to keep pushing that narrative, but they know it is not true!" Trump said Thursday in a Twitter posting. The statement contradicts what Trump told NBC Nightly News’s Lester Holt last year in a televised interview.
