An interview from Trump’s interview on NBC is now dropping clips. This one is getting a lot of commentary.
Trump says the Russia investigation is a “made-up story” and an “excuse” by Democrats for why they lost election https://t.co/43JDslSsKQ pic.twitter.com/ieIRiO85FU

It sounds like he’s connecting directly the Russian investigation to the firing of Comey at the beginning of the clip. But when Holt tries to nail him down about what he means, he just won’t do it.
It’s making a splash:
Trump to NBC: "When I decided to [fire Comey], I said to myself, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story."

Sooooo pinning the blame on the Deputy Attorney General didn’t go over so well, apparently. I wonder how this will do.
