"James Comey better hope there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press," AFP quoted Mr. Trump as writing on Twitter today.

This is one of the tweets in which the US President responded to criticism and media opinions about Mr. Comey's dismissal.

Earlier, the New York Times reported that Mr. Comey may not have sworn allegiance to the president during dinner on January 27. When Mr. Trump asked Comey if he would swear allegiance to him, the former FBI director promised to be "honest" to Trump. The White House denied the information.

President Trump said in an interview with NBC yesterday that the issue of loyalty was never mentioned during the dinner with Comey.
