Trump slams claims he’s a Russian spy
DONALD Trump has blasted “insulting” allegations that he worked as a secret agent for Russia.
The US President lashed out after an article claimed the FBI probed the possibility after he took office.
Asked if he had worked for Russia, he told Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro: “It’s the most insulting thing I’ve been asked.
“I think it’s the most insulting article I’ve ever had written. The New York Times is a disaster.”
The FBI reportedly opened the investigation in May 2017, after he fired FBI director James Comey.
Trump said Mr Comey was axed over criticism of his handling of a Hillary Clinton email probe. He later admitted he made the decision to sack him alone.
