No, there was no collusion - Pres. Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump is flatly denying that there was any collusion between himself, his campaign and the Russians.

He's denounced the appointment of Robert Mueller as a special counsel, while U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has indicated, the investigation into meddling is heading in the direction of criminal charges.

The special counsel was appointed after President Trump fired James Comey as FBI director, and President Trump flatly told Peter Baker of the New York Times, no, he fired James Comey because he was incompetent.
