The White House was knocked on the defensive a second day in a row following a report that President Donald Trump tried to get the FBI director to drop the investigation of his former national security adviser.
FBI Director James Comey wrote a memo immediately after a February Oval Office conversation with Trump reporting that the president asked him to end the agency’s investigation of the former Trump aide, Michael Flynn.
The revelation added to the political peril for Trump’s White House by introducing the possibility of an impeachable offense. The White House had spent much of the day trying to contain damage from a report Monday that Trump revealed sensitive and highly classified intelligence to two senior Russian officials.
The indices went down as the Japanese yen and gold rose. The S&P 500 dropped by nearly 80 points, Dow dropped by 55 points, and gold rose by nearly 30 points in one hour.
