US President Donald Trump talks to reporters in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington. "I was going to fire Comey," Trump said in an interview with NBC. "Regardless of recommendation I was going to fire Comey," Trump said. He promised he would tolerate no interference from the White House and would not provide the administration with updates on its progress. McCabe said he was not aware of any such request and said the Russia investigation is adequately resourced.
