'I didn't say that': Trump denies asking Comey to drop Flynn investigation or for loyalty pledge


Former FBI Director James Comey testified before a Senate intelligence committee hearing on Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election on Thursday. (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters)Asked by a reporter if he had told Comey to drop the investigation into former national security adviser Flynn, Trump said, "I didn't say that." I mean, I will tell you, I didn't say that," Trump replied. In his testimony, Comey also said Trump asked him in January to pledge loyalty to the president, an unusual request that would put in doubt the independence of the FBI. Asked on Friday if he would be willing to go under oath to give his version of his interactions with Comey, Trump replied, "100 per cent."
