Trump suggests he was trying to keep FBI director honest

President Donald Trump suggested he was just trying to keep fired FBI Director James Comey honest with his cryptic tweet implying there might be recordings of their private conversations.

Trump ended a month-long guessing game Thursday by tweeting that he never made and doesn’t have recordings. In an interview that aired Friday on “Fox & Friends,” Trump said: “When he found out that I, you know, that there may be tapes out there, whether it’s governmental tapes or anything else, and who knows, I think his story may have changed.”

Asked if he was trying to keep Comey honest, Trump added: “It wasn’t very stupid, I can tell you that. He was — he did admit that what I said was right.”

The tapes saga began in May, just days after Trump fired Comey, who then was leading an investigation into Trump associates’ ties to Russian officials.
