Donald Trump took to Twitter to threaten former director of the FBI, James Comey. Trump wrote: “James Comey better hope that there are no “tapes” of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”

Trump’s frustration comes from the false narratives pushed by the White House and his administration surrounding Comey’s firing.
Speaking with NBC News, Trump said he spoke with Comey during a dinner the former FBI director initiated. Trump claimed Comey told him during that dinner that he was not under investigation by the FBI.
However, it was the White House that requested that dinner with Comey.
In addition, Comey did not state that Trump was not under FBI investigation; but rather refused to pledge loyalty to Trump when asked to do so. Comey told Trump he would be honest but would not pledge loyalty.
Former and current FBI sources relayed that “the January dinner meeting between the two men … was requested by the White House. And the former senior FBI official says Comey would never have told the president he was not under investigation.”
The Comey firing has had several narrative re-writes. Initially the White House claimed it was deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein’s recommendation that caused the firing, but Trump provided a new plot twist during his interview with Lester Holt when he asserted: “I was going to fire regardless of recommendation.”
The White House first stood behind Rosenstein’s recommendation that because of Comey’s handling of the Clinton email debacle was the reason for termination, but Trump told Holt that Russia was the reason for Comey leaving the FBI.
Trump told Holt: “When I decided to [fire Comey], I said to myself, I said you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story.”
