Trump also slammed the "fake media" Friday morning and once again denied any collusion between his presidential campaign and Russia, amid speculation that he fired Comey for reasons related to the FBI's investigation into the matter. "Again, the story that there was collusion between the Russians  Trump campaign was fabricated by Dems as an excuse for losing the election," he tweeted. , , Trump also went on the attack against Comey, appearing to contradict recent reports that Trump had asked the FBI head to pledge his loyalty during a private dinner in January.
