The Justice Department is refusing to confirm whether President Donald Trump was or was not ever a target or subject of the ongoing probe into alleged Russian meddling in the presidential campaign, despite Trump's public claims that he was repeatedly given such assurances by former FBI Director James Comey.
In a letter Tuesday responding to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by a POLITICO reporter, a Justice Department lawyer said the agency won't hand over any records that would confirm Trump's status in any investigation.
Justice is also declining to produce any records about the debate Comey says took place over whether to tell Trump earlier this year that he wasn't a focus of the Russia probe. In fact, the agency won't even say whether such records exist.
