Senior US lawmakers have called on President Donald Trump to turn over any recordings of conversations with fired FBI director James Comey.<\/p>\n
Senate Democratic leader Charles Schumer warned that destroying any tapes would break the law.<\/p>\n
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said the White House needed to “clear the air” about whether tapes existed.<\/p>\n
The comments come after Mr Trump tweeted what appeared to be a thinly veiled threat to the former FBI chief.<\/p>\n
He warned Mr Comey last week against talking to the media, saying he had “better hope there are no tapes” of their conversations.<\/p>\n
