Comey delivered scathing remarks about the president on Thursday at a congressional hearing and testified that Trump had asked him to drop a Federal Bureau of Investigation probe into former aide Michael Flynn and his alleged ties to Russian Federation.
He also questioned whether Comey was behind other leaks because "it seems like he knew exactly how to do it", King told "Sunday Morning Futures" on Fox News. "I mean, I will tell you, I didn't say that", Trump replied.
He further denied ever asking Mr Comey for his "loyalty", contradicting Mr Comey's detailed sworn testimony about a private dinner the two men had in the White House.
While addressing a news conference Friday with the visiting Romanian President Klaus Iohannis in the White House rose garden, Trump dismissed the Senate hearing regarding the Federal Bureau of Investigation probe into Russian Federation meddling in the 2016 presidential election and called it a politically-influenced proceeding. Trump said that he would be 100% willing to testify under oath about his version of events.
However, the president refused to admit that the tape of any such conversation exists but claims that James Comey lied under oath.
"The president tweeted on Friday after I got fired that I better hope there are not tapes", Comey told the senators.
Trump suggested on Friday, following Comey's hearing, that the press will find out in a "very short period of time" whether any tapes exist.
Four members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, including Chairman Chuck Grassley and ranking Democrat Dianne Feinstein, had set a Friday deadline for Richman to respond after Comey testified that he gave the memo to him and asked him to anonymously disclose it to the media in an attempt to prompt the naming of a special counsel, reports CNN. The committee is seeking the materials by June 23.

And Murray admitted the Lions laid down a marker in dominating the much-vaunted pack of the runaway Super Rugby leaders. Henry also cautioned against the nearly unanimous opinion in New Zealand that the test series will be a whitewash.
Though Trump has lambasted Comey as a "leaker", he also claimed "total and complete vindication" following the ex-FBI chief's testimony, focusing on Comey's confirmation that Trump was not personally being probed.
The information was leaked to a reporter of "The New York Times" through a professor from the Columbia Law School.
Standing with the president of Romania, a North Atlantic Treaty Organisation partner, Mr Trump at last confirmed his commitment to the alliance's mutual defence pact, Article 5, uttering words he deliberately did not say when he spoke at Nato's gathering in Belgium last month.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is scheduled to testify Tuesday before the Senate Intelligence Committee, potentially on his contacts during the Trump campaign with Russia's ambassador to the United States.
"That's a very hard standard to meet", Turley said. Tillerson had called on the Arab nations to immediately ease their blockade on Qatar. Trump wrote at 6:10 a.m. He derisively repeated the "leaker" moniker when speaking to reporters in the Rose Garden.
"Comey's description of the document is that it was a personal sort of memo to file", said Wittes.
"I think that James Comey's credibility has been brought into question on multiple occasions during the Clinton investigation and here", he added. "Even folks who have been his critics don't question his integrity, his commitment to the rule of law and his intelligence", Warner said.
