23 de junio de 2017, 16:23Washington, June 23 (Prensa Latina) Twice as many USA citizens say they are more likely to believe former FBI Director James Comey than President Donald Trump, according to a new poll.

One week after the memo was disclosed, the Justice Department appointed Mueller as special counsel to take over the investigation into contacts between Russian Federation and the Trump political campaign.

"In response to the Committee's inquiry, we refer you to President Trump's June 22, 2017, statement regarding this matter: "With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea whether there are "tapes" or recordings of my conversations with James Comey, but I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings", wrote in the letter on Friday. There has been leaking by Comey".

The committee is interested in a New York Times article from April that cited a hacked Russian intelligence memo that quoted a Democratic operative as "express [ing] confidence that Ms".

Trump has disputed Comey's assertion that Trump asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation director for a pledge of loyalty during a meeting.

Mr Comey also said that Mr Trump asked him for "loyalty" - which Mr Trump emphatically denies. "It would be a very, very sad day for Republicans if she steps down", Trump said. "I don't know how this serves the country's interests".

President Donald Trump has no intention of firing the special counsel investigating charges of Russian meddling in the 2016 United States election, even though he questioned the official's impartiality in an interview, the White House said on Friday.

However, Mr Trump did call Mr Mueller an "honourable man".

Representatives for Conaway and Schiff did not respond on Friday afternoon to queries about whether the White House had met the deadline to provide the materials. Destroying them would be a crime.

"I have been here only five months, people saying, 'Where is the health care?' Well, I have done in five months what other people haven't done in years", Trump added.

"If the president had no tapes, why did he suggest otherwise?"
