FIRING ‘NUT JOB COMEY’ TOOK OFF PRESSURE: TRUMP

White House hopes that Mr Trump could leave scandalous allegation­s at home were crushed in a one-two punch of revelation­s that landed shortly after his departure. A Washington Post report, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter, said a senior Trump adviser is now considered a “person of interest” in the law enforcemen­t investigat­ion into whether Trump’s campaign associates coordinate­d with Russia in an effort to sway the 2016 election.
