“Circumstantial evidence” indicates collusion between members of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign team and Russian interference in the election, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said on Sunday.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told NBC’s “Meet The Press” that there was also “direct evidence” of deception.
“There is circumstantial evidence of collusion,” Schiff said. “There is direct evidence, I think, of deception, and that’s where we begin the investigation.”
He added: “There is certainly enough for us to conduct an investigation. The American people have a right to know and in order to defend ourselves, we need to know whether the circumstantial evidence of collusion and direct evidence of deception is indicative of more.”
