Donald Trump accuses his former FBI director of lying under oath and would 100 per cent talk to special counsel

‘Donald Trump went on the offensive against his former FBI director on Friday accusing him of lying under oath when he testified a day earlier that the President asked him to drop an investigation into a key aide.
Instead he claimed evidence given by James Comey before the Senate a day earlier cleared him of allegations of obstruction of justice and colluding with Russian officials.
“We were very very happy,” he said. “James Comey confirmed a lot of what I said and some of the things that he said just weren’t true.”
