President Trump in a series of tweets has admitted that he did not make and does not have any recordings of his conversations with fired FBI Director James Comey.
With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea…

…whether there are "tapes" or recordings of my conversations with James Comey, but I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings.

Trump in a previous tweet from over a month ago hinted that he had recorded conversations with James Comey that could be used against him, turning the conversation from the reason behind the termination of Comey’s appointment with the FBI to what the content of said “tapes” would reveal.
James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!

Last month, Trump told reporters “I’ll tell you about that maybe sometime in the near future” but made no reference as to if the tapes exist, except saying the press would “be very disappointed” to find out the answer.
Well, the answer is here.
