President Donald Trump, in an exclusive interview Thursday with NBC News' Lester Holt, called ousted FBI chief James Comey a "showboat" and revealed he asked Comey whether he was under investigation for alleged ties to Russia.
"I actually asked him" if I were under investigation, Trump said, noting that he spoke with Comey once over dinner and twice by phone.
"I said, if it's possible would you let me know, 'Am I under investigation?' He said, 'You are not under investigation.'"

Media takeaway from this :
“Trump tried to pressure Comey in face to face showdown”.
Yeah you can bet that will be the headline “President Trump tries to pressure Comey into not investigating him”
No “intent”
Next time Trump is asked about firing Comey he should bring up Hillary Clinton’s email server, the meeting between Lynch & Billy Clinton
Then, slam the media with mentioning financial ties to HRC through Comey’s brother & questioning the integrity of Andrew McCabe.....
Who in this administration is playing offense against the vast left wing globalist conspiracy?
THANK YOU for posting air time for this Trump-Holt interview. I’ve been going mad for hard political news around here.
FINALLY I know when to DVR this thing. Thanks so much!!
I sure hope there is some kind of record of Comey saying that to Trump because Comey could come back and deny saying it.
THAT would be very helpful, but un-provable. He said/he said. You know what I mean?
