US President, Donald Trump has insisted that he is not under investigation on alleged Russian meddling in US election and possible collusion between his campaign officials and Moscow.
In a television interview with NBC, he said the then FBI chief, James Comey informed him thrice that he was not under investigation.
On the sacking of Comey, Trump said he would have taken the action even without a recommendation to do so by the two top Justice Department officials.
Trump is facing Democratic accusations that he fired Comey on Tuesday to hinder the FBI investigation into alleged meddling by Russia in the Presidential election.
