NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) – President Donald Trump has arrived in Connecticut to address graduates of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.
The president’s appearance Wednesday comes amid reports that Trump personally appealed to now-fired FBI Director James Comey to abandon the investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
The allegations are based on notes Comey wrote after he met with Trump earlier this year. Associates shared the contents of Comey’s notes with the media.
The White House has denied the reports.
Trump is scheduled to give the commencement address for the newest crop of soon-to-be commissioned Coast Guard officers.
