According to Fox News, the recordings may raise questions for committee chairman Adam Schiff, who had previously stated that there was “direct evidence”.
On Thursday, Fox News, citing sources in the U.S. administration, reported that law enforcement and U.S. intelligence did not find evidence in the transcripts of the House’s intelligence committee on evidence of collusion between President Donald Trump and the Russian Federation during the 2016 United States election.
Intelligence opinions are consistent with the findings of US Special Attorney Robert Muller, who had been investigating alleged Russian interference in the election for almost two years, about the absence of such a conspiracy. Trump has also repeatedly rejected suspicions of any illegal contacts with Russian officials during the election campaign. Moscow has also many times rejected conclusions about attempts to influence the course of elections in the United States.
Thus, the notes may raise questions for committee chairman Adam Schiff, who had previously stated that there was “direct evidence” of such a secret arrangement.
