(Andrew Harnik/AP)On Sunday, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said President Trump should turn over tapes of conversations he had with former FBI director James B. Comey — if they exist. Almost a month after suggesting that he recorded conversations with Comey in the White House, writing in an early-morning Twitter message that “Comey better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations,” the president has yet to definitely answer the question of whether any such tapes even exist. “I’ll tell you about that maybe sometime in the very near future,” Trump told reporters Friday when asked about the existence of any tapes. On Thursday, Comey testified to the Senate that, in a Feb. 14 conversation in the Oval Office, Trump asked Comey to “see your way clear to letting” go of the FBI investigation into Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn. Former FBI director James B. Comey testified about his interactions with President Trump before the Senate Intelligence Committee June 8.
