WASHINGTON -- Donald Trump's beleaguered White House was rocked Tuesday by a pair of explosive allegations -- that he personally tried to quash an FBI investigation, and that he disclosed highly classified information to top Russian officials. But the reports -- both rebutted by Trump's team -- add to a mounting perception of an administration in a perpetual state of chaos. The paper -- citing two people who read notes written by Comey -- reported that when Comey met Trump the day after Flynn resigned, the president tried to halt any FBI investigation. "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go," Trump is accused of telling Comey, according to a memo written by the former FBI chief, who was sacked last week. 'Absolute right' to share intelThe White House quickly denied any suggestion that Trump was trying to obstruct justice -- a criminal offense -- in his dealings with Comey.
