james comey was fired on tuesday. just adds another layer to this question of whether the white house is truly being forthcoming. they said that the reason that they fired comey was because of the way he handled hillary clinton's e-mails but as you follow this, things continue to lead back to russia. anderson? >> we should point out the department of justice denies that comey asked for more resources. correct? >> that's right. they said that was 100% false. that comey went to rod rosenstein and asked for more resources or more money. >> you indicated the white house seems to keep moving the goal post as to why they chose to fire director comey yesterday. >> this was evident today. in the white house briefing with sarah huckabee sanders. initially they said the reason the president decided to fire comey was because of this full throated letter saying the way that james comey handled hillary clinton's e-mail scandal was not acceptable and no longer fit to lead the department.
