USA President Trump says he did not make and does not have recordings of his conversations with ex FBI Director James Comey

USA President Trump tweeted on 22nd June 2017, "With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea..." and "...whether there are "tapes" or recordings of my conversations with James Comey, but I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings."

Ravi: Well, USA president Trump can certainly keep the media and the world guessing, and perhaps even send them on a wild goose chase! Hmm. As a real estate businessman and TV reality-show personality, this may have worked out well for him, at least at times. It has to be seen how these tactics will work for him as USA president! I guess saying that we live in interesting times, is a fair statement to make, in this context!

Please note that I have a PUBLICLY NEUTRAL informal-student-observer role in these posts that I put up about USA politics. Of course, as I am an Indian citizen living in India, there is no question of me having voted in USA elections.
