President Trump’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey amid a federal investigation into collusion with Russia has raised suspicions among a majority of Americans, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. 

The poll found that 61% of American adults believe Trump fired Comey to protect himself, not the country. And 56% said they believe Trump is interfering with the Russia investigation.

But the same respondents also have little faith in Comey, with 55% saying they have little or not trust of the former FBI director.

Still, the survey revealed only 20% say they trust Trump when he comments on Russia’s role in the presidential election.

Half of adults said they don’t trust Trump “at all” when it comes to the investigation.
