The FBI was investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian election interference effort.
While Trump wasn't personally under investigation at that time, that could change at any given moment as he was part of the campaign.

Trump just wanted Comey to clarify the public that he himself personally wasn't currently under investigation. How the hell hard can it be to make that declaration or does he have to be obtuse to want to keep his job ? 

Edit: Another thing, the FBI works for the executive branch so it cannot be insubordinate to the President ...
