| Donald Trump's problems over alleged links between his ex-national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and Russia have got worse. US media report that the president asked former FBI director James Comey to end an inquiry into the subject.
Mr Comey is the man Mr Trump sacked last week. "I hope you can let this go," Mr Trump reportedly told him after a White House meeting in February, the day after Mr Flynn resigned. But the White House denies the report.
So, how bad is this for Mr Trump? Senior fellow Republican John McCain has reportedly said this is now a scandal of "Watergate size and scale". But, says BBC Washington reporter Anthony Zurcher, Mr McCain is something of a "wild card" in the party. |
