Q    Moving on to the news of the week, really, and the day, did President Trump record his conversations with former FBI Director Comey?

MR. SPICER:  I assume you’re referring to the tweet.

Q    His tweet.

MR. SPICER:  And I’ve talked to the President.  The President has nothing further to add on that.

Q    Why did he say that?  Why did he tweet that?  What should we interpret from that?

MR. SPICER:  As I mentioned, the President has nothing further to add on that.

Q    Are there recording devices in the Oval Office or in the residence?

MR. SPICER:  As I’ve said for the third time, there is nothing further to add on that.

Q    Does he think it’s appropriate to threaten someone like Mr. Comey not to speak?

MR. SPICER:  I don’t think -- that’s not a threat.  He simply stated a fact.  The tweet speaks for itself.  I’m moving on.
