In his NBC interview last year discussing the firing, Trump first called Comey a “showboat” and a “grandstander.” He then said he knew firing Comey could “confuse people” and “lengthen out the investigation.”
“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 have won,” he told NBC at the time.
In a Twitter post on Thursday, Trump accused the news outlet and its journalist, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt, of “fudging my tape on Russia” but gave no evidence to back up his claim.
