President Trump reportedly told Russian officials at the White House earlier this month that he "faced great pressure because of Russia" and that pressure had been relieved after his firing of FBI Director James Comey.

This is according to a report from The New York Times, which cited a document about the meeting.

Meanwhile, a report from The Washington Post said someone serving in the White House right now is a person of interest in the investigation of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
