Ivanka Trump will appear on Fox News this morning to defend her father's decision to sack former FBI director James Comey.

Comey, who testified last week at the Senate Intelligence Committee, spent two hours discussing how President Donald Trump fired him to undermine the agency's investigation into alleged Russian collusion with the businessman's campaign.

The former FBI chief accused the president of directing him to drop an investigation into Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who was forced out of office after failing to declare links to Russia.

As well as this morning's interview on Fox and Friends, Trump is due to be interviewed by Ainsley Earhardt later this week inside the White House

Russia has denied any interference in the election campaign and the White House has denied any collusion with Moscow.

Ivanka Trump will appear this morning on Fox and Friends at 7am ET to discuss the president's infrastructure plan, although she is also likely to address Comey's testimony which heavily criticized the billionaire's conduct.

Comey said he approached Attorney General Jeff Sessions and asked that he would never be left in a room alone with the president.

Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, tweeted more than 80 times during Comey's testimony.

Trump Jr wrote: 'Knowing my father for 39 years when he "orders or tells" you to do something there is no ambiguity, you will know exactly what he means.'

He also criticized Comey's decision to release details of his conversations with the president. He added: 'Did I miss something or did Comey just say he asked a friend to leak information to the press? Is this a joke?'
