US President Donald Trump says he never asked the former FBI Director James Comey to drop an investigation into his ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn.

ABC NewsRadio's Glen Bartholomew speaks to Brendon O'Connor, an Associate Professor in American Politics at the United States Studies Centre.
