President Donald Trump denied trying to quash an FBI investigation of his former national security adviser and said there was no collusion by his campaign with the Russians who used hacking and disinformation to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.
“No, no -- next question,” Trump said when asked at a White House news conference Thursday whether he pressured then-FBI Director James Comey in February to drop an investigation into former White House adviser Michael Flynn’s dealings with Russia and Turkey. He said it is “totally ridiculous” to think he’s done anything that would amount to an impeachable offense.
