“I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off,” Mr. Trump told the Russians, as The New York Times has reported.
“But regardless of recommendation, I was going to fire Comey knowing there was no good time to do it And in fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself — I said, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story. It’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should’ve won.”
“As far as I’m concerned, I want that thing to be absolutely done properly. When I did this now, I said I probably maybe will confuse people. Maybe I’ll expand that — you know, I’ll lengthen the time because it should be over with. It should — in my opinion, should’ve been over with a long time ago because it — all it is an excuse. But I said to myself I might even lengthen out the investigation. But I have to do the right thing for the American people. He’s the wrong man for that position.”
In a May 2 interview with Fox News, Rudolph W. Giuliani, the president’s lawyer, said the former F.B.I. director was fired because he would not say Mr. Trump was not under investigation:
“He fired Comey because Comey would not, among other things, say that he wasn’t a target of the investigation. He’s entitled to that. Hillary Clinton got that. Actually, he couldn’t get that. So, he fired him and he said, I’m free of the guy, and he went on Lester Holt. Lester Holt’s interview was as good as anybody could do, better than I think any of the people around Mueller could have done, and Lester Holt asked them, why did you do it? He said, I did it because I felt that I had to explain to the American people the president was not the target of the investigation.”
But a day later, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, contradicted Mr. Giuliani and again cited Mr. Comey’s “lying, leaking and politicizing the F.B.I.”
Which is it?
