Donald Trump denies claims he is under investigation
US President Donald Trump has denied he is under investigation,
while dismissing the FBI director he fired as a "showboat" and
"grandstander".
Trump made the remarks on Thursday when he told NBC News that it was his decision alone to sack James Comey.
Mr Comey was leading an inquiry into alleged Russian meddling in the US election and possible collusion between Trump campaign officials and Moscow.
Trump has dismissed the probe as a "charade", a claim directly contradicted by Mr Comey's successor.
In his first interview since firing the FBI director, Trump said had asked Mr Comey whether he was under investigation.
