With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea...— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 22, 2017
I think we all knew that Trump was full of shit the minute he first tweeted this out....whether there are "tapes" or recordings of my conversations with James Comey, but I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 22, 2017
But don't think that Trump made this admission voluntarily, he was pressured by the Democrats.James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 12, 2017
Here is what Chuck Schumer said about the non-existent tapes:
It is clear that President Trump’s legal defense is to refute Mr. Comey’s account. Well, the President threatened Mr. Comey with the release of tapes of their conversations. Presumably that includes the conversation when President Trump asked Director Comey to “let go” of the Flynn investigation.
It’s awfully curious that no one from the President’s team will either confirm or deny the existence of those tapes, when the tapes are the only way to prove that Mr. Comey’s testimony, which came under oath, was false or misleading.
President Trump: if you disagree with anything the Director said today, play the tapes for all of America to hear. Or admit that there are no tapes.
Trump was in a box of his own making, so all he can do now is try to obfuscate the truth and hope that the media moves on in a couple of days.
And they probably will, because soon there will be something newer and stupider to cover about Donald Trump.
