In a heated rant denying his campaign's collusion with Russia, President Trump repeatedly said that he was not getting involved in the Justice Department's Russia probe, except that he might get involved at some point, because "what is going on is a disgrace."

During the 30-minute long phone interview with Fox & Friends, where the president spoke almost uninterruptedly, he went off on his Justice Department, saying he was "very disappointed" by them and that there were people in the Justice Department "that shouldn't be there."

He vehemently denied any collusion with Russia and blamed former FBI director James Comey for "leaking classified information in order to get a special counsel" to probe the Russia interference in the 2016 presidential elections.

At least three times during the interview, Trump said that he would change his mind about not interfering in the DOJ's Russia probe headed by special counsel Robert Mueller.
