President Donald Trump has denied that he is a secret agent for Russia, following a report that the FBI had investigated that possibility in 2017.
One day after the New York Times made the claim, Fox New's Jeanine Pirro posed the question to Trump in an interview on Saturday night, asking: 'Are you now or have you ever worked for Russia, Mr. President?'
'I think it's the most insulting thing I've ever been asked,' Trump replied. 'I think it's the most insulting article I've ever had written.'
'It was a great insult, and the New York Times is a disaster as a paper,' Trump said.
Trump called in to Justice with Jeanine Pirro on Saturday night to deny that he is a secret agent of Russia, following a New York Times report that the FBI had investigated the possibility
Citing unnamed former law enforcement officials, the Times reported that the FBI opened the combined criminal and counterintelligence probe into Trump in May of 2017.
Trump fired Comey on May 9, 2017, citing a letter from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein that sharply criticized Comey's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
However, the FBI grew concerned that Trump was acting on behalf of Russian interests by firing Comey.
Trump dismissed the notion in Saturday's interview, but without ever directly denying that he was working as a secret agent for Russia.
Trump said he fired Comey because 'he was a terrible liar, and he did a terrible job as the FBI director.'
'And, obviously, nothing was found,' Trump said of the alleged investigation.

No evidence has publicly emerged in the 20 months since Comey was fired that indicate Trump is a secret agent, or that he engaged in a criminal conspiracy with the Russian government.
'I can tell you this, if you ask the folks in Russia, I've been tougher on Russia than anybody else,' Trump said.
Trump also responded to a new report from the Washington Post claiming that he confiscated his translator's notes about at least one of his meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and ordered the linguist not to discuss the conversations with other top U.S. officials.
Citing unnamed current and former U.S. officials, the Washington Post reported on Saturday that Trump had taken extraordinary measures to conceal the contents of his meetings with Putin.
The Post claims that Trump confiscated his translator's notes after he and Putin first met in person on July 7, 2017 on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Hamburg.
The leaders spoke for about three hours, and then-U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and the U.S. interpreter were present for the meeting, as well as Russian Foreign Minster Sergei Lavrov and Putin's translator.
Trump reportedly confiscated his translator's notes after his first meeting with Putin in Hamburg (above). Present at the meeting were (left to right) Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the Russian translator, Putin, Trump, the US translator, and Rex Tillerson
'I'm not keeping anything under wraps - I couldn't care less, it's so ridiculous,' Trump fired back in the interview with Pirro. 'Anybody could have listened to that meeting, it is open for grabs. The whole Russia thing it's a hoax, it's a total hoax, everybody knows it.'
'Think of it, I had a one-on-one meeting with Putin, like I do with every other leader. I have many one-on-one, nobody ever says anything about it, but with Putin they say, 'Oh what did they talk about?' We talked about very positive things,' Trump added, saying that Israel was among the topics discussed.
Trump also said: 'The Washington Post, that's basically the lobbyists for Amazon - [Jeff] Bezos has bigger problems than anybody right now, but Bezos uses that as his lobbyist.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
