President Trump on Thursday said he did spend the night in Moscow the night before the Miss Universe contest in 2013 and accused former FBI Director James Comey of lying in memos detailing their conversations.

“I went to Russia for a day or so,” Trump said in an interview on “Fox & Friends.” “Of course I stayed there.”

The president’s claim appears to contradict what Comey says he was told by Trump. Comey recalled in memos released last week that Trump twice told him that he hadn’t stayed the night in Russia during the trip.

Comey said he authored such memos to document his interactions with Trump, out of concern that the president could lie about their conversations.

Trump said that he never told Comey that he didn’t stay overnight in Moscow and pointed to the apparent contradiction as an example of the inaccuracy of the former FBI director’s memos.
