Trump: 'Comey Better Hope There Are No Tapes'
Trump threatens Comey about 'tapes', which turned out to be a bluff. This threat backfired when Comey leaked his own memos, leading to the appointment of a Special Counsel.
Tweet text: "James Comey better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!"
