Donald Trump has accused former FBI director James Comey of “very cowardly” leaks, as Republican congressmen called on the US President to “clear up the matter once and for all”.
Key points:
- Republicans call on Mr Trump to confirm whether he has tapes of any conversations
- Mr Trump said he would “soon” but may face a subpoena if he does not but
- Attorney-General Jeff Sessions is due to appear at a senate hearing on Tuesday
Taking to Twitter, Mr Trump questioned whether Mr Comey’s leaking of information to a journalist was illegal.
“I believe the James Comey leaks will be far more prevalent than anyone ever thought possible. Totally illegal? Very ‘cowardly!'” he wrote.
In his testimony to Congress last Thursday, Mr Comey laid bare on Capitol Hill months of distrust of the President, asserting that Mr Trump had fired him to interfere with the probe of Russia’s ties to the Trump campaign.
