Donald Trump: I have no tapes of Comey meetings

"Lordy, I hope there are tapes," Mr Comey declared at a congressional hearing.

US President Donald Trump has said he "did not make" and does not have any recordings of his private conversations with ousted former FBI director James Comey.

"With all of the recently-reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information," Mr Trump said he has "no idea" whether there are "tapes" or recordings of the two men's conversations.
