		</div><p>US President Donald Trump has denied he ever worked for Russia, answering a question he declined to directly address over the weekend.</p>
<p>Speaking from the South Lawn before departing the White House for New Orleans, Mr Trump called former FBI and Justice Department officials “known scoundrels” and “dirty cops”.</p>
<p>He was reacting to a New York Times report that law enforcement officials began investigating, in 2017, whether Mr Trump had been working on behalf of Russia against US interests.</p>
<p><em>“I never worked for Russia,”</em> he told reporters.</p>
<p>The president did not directly answer the question in a Saturday Fox News interview.</p>
<p><em>“I think it’s the most insulting thing I’ve ever been asked,”</em> Mr Trump told Jeanine Pirro, a personal friend.</p>
<p><em>“I think it’s the most insulting article I’ve ever had written, and if you read the article you’ll see that they found absolutely nothing.”</em></p>
<p>Mr Trump went on to assert that no president has taken a harder stance against Russia than he has.</p>
<div data-glade="" data-ad-unit-path="/1005055/n_bn_mpu_start_300x250" data-fetch="false">
<p><em>“If you ask the folks in Russia, I’ve been tougher on Russia than anybody else, any other … probably any other president, period, but certainly the last three or four presidents,”</em> he said.</p>
<p>White House aides expressed regret over the weekend that the president did not more clearly and forcefully deny being a Russian agent when asked by the usually friendly Fox News host, according to three White House aides and Republicans close to the White House.</p>
<p>Mr Trump on Monday defended his decision to fire FBI director James Comey, a move that has drawn the scrutiny of special counsel Robert Mueller.</p>
<p>The president called the Russia probe “a whole big fat hoax”.</p>
