Trump finally admits today that he hasn’t made any recordings of his conversations with James Comey, with one mocking caveat:

As I expected from his White House presser a couple weeks ago, there are no Trump tapes. Also Trump mockingly refers to all the hoopla of the Russia investigation while admitting that he himself did not record any of his conversations with James Comey. Clever.

"I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings" does not = there are no tapes. https://t.co/WDOJUaUGcg
