\u201cWhile I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the bureau,\u201d Mr. Trump said in a letter dated Tuesday to Mr. Comey.<\/p>\n
