| Fired FBI Chief James Comey To Publicly Testify Russian Interference In US Elections

| James Comey, the former FBI chief fired by President Donald Trump, has agreed to publicly testify about Russian interference in the US elections, as fresh allegations increased pressure on the American leader.
In an Oval Office meeting with senior Russian officials last week, Trump called Comey a "nut job" and said firing the intelligence chief had relieved "great pressure" on him, The New York Times reported.
The exchange supports claims that Trump sacked Comey over the bureau's probe into possible collusion between the real estate mogul's campaign and Moscow.
The Washington Post meanwhile said the FBI has identified an unnamed senior White House official as a "significant person of interest" in its sprawling probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
The reports came just as Trump flew to Saudi Arabia to kick off his first foreign trip as US leader -- highlighting how the controversy over his team's alleged links to Moscow is dogging his fledgling presidency.
