US President Donald Trump has issued an angry response after a TV interview on Sunday alleged that officials had held discussions to have him removed.

 

Mr Trump tweeted of “illegal and treasonous” behaviour and an “illegal coup attempt”.

 

In the interview, ex-acting FBI chief Andrew McCabe said talks had been held in 2017 about invoking a clause that can remove a president deemed unfit.

 

The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman has vowed to investigate the claims.

 

Lindsey Graham said the claims were an “attempted bureaucratic coup”.

 

Mr McCabe said Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had held discussions on the number of cabinet members and others needed to invoke the clause, the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution.
