Was there a physical tap of trump tower . No, there never was. No evidence to support the president s claim. Reporter also, the lingering question of whether the president s men may have colluded with russia to influence the election. Democrats and republicans see it differently. I would characterize it, there is circumstantial evidence of collusion. No, everything i have up to this morning. No evidence of collusion. Reporter james comey is in a position to know whether theres probable cause to support either story. Hes become more famous than me. Reporter the very same fbi director who grabbed so much attention himself during the 2016 campaign. First, closing the case against Hillary Clinton for using that private email server for sensitive government business. Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Reporter only to reopen it nine days before the election. I have to give the fbi credit. That was so bad what happened originally, and it took guts for director comey to make the move thast he made. Reporter after all that, nothing found. Until now, comey has not spoken publicly. Hasnt even confirmed an investigation is under way. But he has briefed Committee Members behind closed doors.

Kim jongun has done that before, including when he launched a Ballistic Missile last month while japans president abe was meeting President Trump at his golf club in florida.
