Majority of USA voters say they are not pleased with Trump's performance
In announcing Comey's firing in 2017, the White House initially cited his handling of the Clinton email investigation, seizing on the FBI director's decision to divulge details of the probe to the public during her campaign against Trump.
U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team investigating suspected Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election spent $4.5 million between October a year ago and March 2018, the Department of Justice said on Thursday.
California Rep. Adam Schiff told ABC News' chief global affairs correspondent and "This Week" Co-Anchor Martha Raddatz on Sunday that the president's assertions that the FBI infiltrated his campaign are an attempt to undermine the Mueller investigation of Russia's interference in the 2016 election and possible ties to Trump associates.
"Why aren't the 13 Angry and heavily conflicted Democrats investigating the totally Crooked Campaign of totally Crooked Hillary Clinton", Trump wrote. The president also said only Democrats were guilty of "collusion".
The president finished up his paranoid rant by stating he had more important topics to attend to - although one has to wonder why he even brought up the issue at all and dedicated most of his attention to it on Twitter Tuesday morning if he's too busy with other subjects.
A senior House Republican briefed on the FBI's Russian Federation probe is disputing President Donald Trump's allegation that the agency spied on his 2016 campaign for political purposes.
However, some political observers have speculated that Democrats may try to revive the House Intelligence Committee's Russian Federation probe if they win the majority in the November elections.

Paul rebounded Klay Thompson's miss just before the final buzzer sounded for the first time and pounded the ball down in delight. The Rockets' other leader, Chris Paul, was on the bench for the final 22.4 seconds due to a right hamstring injury.
The president followed up his tweetstorm by reminding everyone that he is, in fact, president. "Ask them if they enjoyed her after election celebration", Trump tweeted.
Conservative strategist Rick Tyler followed up on Hunt's panel by going into the nuances for why Trump is wrong to characterize the FBI's informant on his campaign as a spy. "They went back home in tatters!" There is no evidence that the informant, former University of Cambridge professor Stefan Halper, was inserted into the campaign, but he did seek out and meet several Trump campaign advisers.
Special counsel Mueller himself has been a registered Republican in the past and was first appointed Federal Bureau of Investigation director by President George W. Bush.
"If they don't show us these documents, well, we are just going to have to say no", Giuliani told Fox.
The former NY mayor, who received a less-than-flattering birthday greeting from his hometown Monday, added that Trump's frequent tweets bashing the probe are working to his benefit. No matter how well WE do, they find fault.
Trump tweeted Wednesday that he wished he had not appointed Jeff Sessions to be attorney general.
