Trump denies working for Russia and lashes out over media reports

Donald Trump has denied working for Russia and concealing his conversations with President Vladimir Putin from US officials. In an interview with Fox News, Mr Trump claimed he was “tougher” on Russia that any recent US president and lashed out at the idea of collusion with the country as a “hoax” and a “witch hunt”. The president’s latest Russia-related tirade follows a report in The New York Times that the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation in 2017 into whether the US president was actively working for Moscow.
