Here's President Trump on NBC after the previous statements were made: “Regardless of recommendation, I was going to fire Comey,” Trump said. “Knowing, there was no good time to do it... And in fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, ‘You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story,’” he added.
Who's lying?
If I had to guess, from what you've posted here, I'd say Sean Spicer is the odd man out.
