President Trump indicated Friday that he would soon reveal whether he has secretly recorded his conversations in the White House, after hinting in May that he might have recordings of his conversations with former FBI Director James Comey.

"I'll tell you about that maybe sometime in the very near future," Trump said Friday when asked about the existence of a recording system during an appearance in the Rose Garden. "I'll tell you about it over a very short period of time."

When asked if he was hinting that the recordings exist, Trump said, "I'm not hinting anything. I'll tell you about it over a very short period of time."

But Trump cautioned reporters against expecting too much from his forthcoming announcement about the tapes.

"You're going to be very disappointed when you hear the answer," he said.

Trump's terse heads up that more information would be coming soon fits in with his past remarks, in which he often says " you'll find out" before making a major announcement.
