In his first interview since firing the FBI director, Mr Trump told NBC News he had asked Mr Comey whether he was under investigation. "I said, if it's possible would you let me know, 'Am I under investigation?' He said: 'You are not under investigation.'"The White House has depicted the Russia inquiry as "probably one of the smallest things" that the FBI has "got going on their plate".
