FBI chief James Comey says his agency is investigating claims that Donald Trump worked with Russia to get elected.

Critics of US President Donald Trump have for months been saying that he worked with Russia to get elected.

The FBI chief James Comey says his agency is officially investigating that claim.

The White House insists the Trump campaign never coordinated with Russia. But there has been evidence that members of his campaign met Russian politicians and then lied about it.

Is politics at play? And how will this investigation affect President Donald Trump's White House?
