Attorney says Trump not under investigation

A member of the U.S. president’s outside legal team said Sunday that Donald Trump is not under federal investigation. Appearing on a series of morning news programs, lawyer Jay Sekulow repeatedly stressed that “the president has not been and is not under investigation.” He said a Friday tweet from Trump was specifically directed at a story in The Washington Post about the expanding probe into Russia’s election meddling. As evidence, Sekulow said that Trump has not been notified of any investigation. He also cited the testimony from former FBI Director James Comey before the Senate intelligence committee, in which Comey said he had told Trump he was not under investigation.
