Trump 'is leaving open the possibility' conversations with Comey were taped: Adviser

— -- President Trump is "leaving open the possibility" that his conversations with then–FBI Director James Comey were taped, presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway said.

Conway's comments, in an interview with ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos on Sunday, came shortly after Trump announced on Twitter that he did not record his conversations with Comey.

In a pair of tweets on Thursday, Trump wrote, "With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea whether there are 'tapes' or recordings of my conversations with James Comey, but I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings."

Stephanopoulos asked Conway if Trump has tried to end any uncertainty over the issue by asking the intelligence community if it recorded any of his conversations with Comey.

She declined to say.

"I'm not going to comment on his conversations with his intelligence community," Conway said. "He is leaving open the possibility that it could have happened."
