The White House says President Donald Trump is expected to make an announcement this week on whether any recordings exist of his private conversations with former FBI Director James Comey.
  Â
White House press secretary Sean Spicer says he expects an announcement "this week" on the possibility of tapes. Trump fired Comey in May and has suggested - but refused to confirm - that he may have tapes of his discussions with Comey. The FBI was investigating Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible contacts with Trump campaign associates.

The House Intelligence Committee has asked White House counsel Don McGahn to provide an answer to the ongoing question about tapes by Friday.
