President Trump said it is “very bothersome” that the man investigating possible ties between his presidential campaign and Russia is good friends with ousted FBI Director James Comey.

The president was asked in an interview to be broadcast Friday morning on “Fox and Friends” whether special counsel Robert Mueller should step down because of his relationship with Comey.

“We’re going to have to see,” Trump replied.

Comey was overseeing the investigation until Trump axed him last month out of frustration with the inquiry.

Mueller and Comey worked together at the Justice Department in the Bush administration.

Fox News released excerpts of the interview after interviewing Trump at the White House.

Trump has denied any ties to Russia or knowledge of any campaign collusion with Moscow.

The Trump administration has been firing back at the deluge of leaks surrounding Mueller’s Russia probe — suggesting that anonymous sources tied to the reports cannot be trusted.

Trump has lashed out on Twitter to decry “the single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history” — claiming it’s being “led by some very bad and conflicted people!”
