That is absolutely not true.
False liberal narrative.
If true, please explain how the firing of Comey stopped the investigation.
Is the investigation over and I didn't get the memo?
Furthermore, can you please explain how Fusion GPS paying a former British spy to obtain information from Russians to write the dossier that DNC members used is different than interfering as you mentioned above?
I didn't say he succeeded

Trump Told Russians That Firing ‘Nut Job’ Comey Eased Pressure From Investigation
WASHINGTON — President Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office this month that firing the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, had relieved “great pressure” on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting.
“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

Donald Trump Jr. admits a Russian lawyer offered him dirt on Hillary Clinton
But Trump is still casting doubt over whether Russia really interfered in the election.
On Sunday, President Donald Trump’s eldest son confessed to the New York Times that a lawyer with ties to the Kremlin had offered him compromising information about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The admission from Donald Trump, Jr. came just hours after a series of tweets in which the president defended his warm relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and muddied the clear evidence that Moscow interfered in the 2016 election.
According to the Times, multiple administration sources confirmed that a meeting took place between the Russian lawyer, Don Jr., then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. Don Jr. then confirmed the story in a statement to the paper but downplayed its significance, saying the lawyer “stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Ms. Clinton.”
