Trump lawyer says President isn't under investigation, despite tweets
Washington (CNN)A representative from President Donald Trump's legal team said Trump is not under investigation, despite the President tweeting "I am being investigated" this week.
The lawyer, Jay Sekulow, contended the tweet was not a confirmation of the investigation, but instead a response to a report in The Washington Post.
"That tweet was in response to a Washington Post story that ran with five unnamed sources," Sekulow said in an interview that aired Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."
Trump tweeted on Friday: "I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt"

He called every statement untrue, no matter what it was. Fortunately Jake Tapper held his feet to the fire and wouldn't give an inch.
