CAMEROTA A source tells ░░░░░░░░ that a Republican on ░░░░░░░░ House Intelligence Committee allegedly ░░░░░░░░ witness testimony to an ░░░░░░░░ for President Trump s ░░░░░░░░ law Michael Cohen Believe ░░░░░░░░ I ll have a ░░░░░░░░ chart if you can ░░░░░░░░ follow all this We ░░░░░░░░ make it clear So ░░░░░░░░ revelation is raising new ░░░░░░░░ about how politicized the ░░░░░░░░ panel s Russia investigation ░░░░░░░░ become Joining us is ░░░░░░░░ Congressman Chris Stewart of ░░░░░░░░ a member of the ░░░░░░░░ Intelligence Committee Good morning ░░░░░░░░ STEWART Good morning Good ░░░░░░░░ be with you CAMEROTA ░░░░░░░░ before we get to ░░░░░░░░ details of who is ░░░░░░░░ what is your committee ░░░░░░░░ to wrapping up its ░░░░░░░░ on Russian influence and ░░░░░░░░ Because we keep hearing ░░░░░░░░ things from the Republicans ░░░░░░░░ the committee versus the ░░░░░░░░ on the committee STEWART ░░░░░░░░ there is a different ░░░░░░░░ on this I think ░░░░░░░░ re getting close We ░░░░░░░░ t finished yet We ░░░░░░░░ a few other witnesses ░░░░░░░░ I think we ve ░░░░░░░░ some more questions we ░░░░░░░░ them It s not ░░░░░░░░ matter we don t ░░░░░░░░ a timeline to I ░░░░░░░░ we say we want ░░░░░░░░ get to where we ░░░░░░░░ we ve done a ░░░░░░░░ job of asking the ░░░░░░░░ as I said reporting ░░░░░░░░ the American people And ░░░░░░░░ my Democratic colleagues would ░░░░░░░░ this to go on ░░░░░░░░ a long long time ░░░░░░░░ gave us a list ░░░░░░░░ nearly 100 witnesses they ░░░░░░░░ us to bring Many ░░░░░░░░ them are overseas many ░░░░░░░░ them are Russians They ░░░░░░░░ clearly not going to ░░░░░░░░ One of them has ░░░░░░░░ away he committed suicide ░░░░░░░░ for us to pursue ░░░░░░░░ kind of witnesses crosstalk ░░░░░░░░ think at some point ░░░░░░░░ I think we owe ░░░░░░░░ to the American people ░░░░░░░░ give them a report ░░░░░░░░ recommendations before the next ░░░░░░░░ That really is the ░░░░░░░░ to this I believe ░░░░░░░░ Well sure If it ░░░░░░░░ ready if you have ░░░░░░░░ findings and you have ░░░░░░░░ conclusions and if it ░░░░░░░░ ready then for sure ░░░░░░░░ want to hear from ░░░░░░░░ but not if it ░░░░░░░░ premature Here is what ░░░░░░░░ had from your Democratic ░░░░░░░░ Eric Swalwell on the ░░░░░░░░ Here is what he ░░░░░░░░ about what he wants ░░░░░░░░ know So listen to ░░░░░░░░ from yesterday on our ░░░░░░░░ clip starts SWALWELL We ░░░░░░░░ to keep this investigation ░░░░░░░░ We have a long ░░░░░░░░ of individuals we have ░░░░░░░░ heard from We haven ░░░░░░░░ heard from Sam Nunberg ░░░░░░░░ haven t heard complete ░░░░░░░░ from Jared Kushner If ░░░░░░░░ called it quits and ░░░░░░░░ out about three hours ░░░░░░░░ his interview We haven ░░░░░░░░ heard the full story ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump Jr because ░░░░░░░░ Republicans won t subpoena ░░░░░░░░ Our democracy was attacked ░░░░░░░░ the American people are ░░░░░░░░ to measure us on ░░░░░░░░ did we do to ░░░░░░░░ it Right now the ░░░░░░░░ seem willing to say ░░░░░░░░ re going to do ░░░░░░░░ And that s not ░░░░░░░░ enough clip ends CAMEROTA ░░░░░░░░ what about that Don ░░░░░░░░ and Jared Kushner seem ░░░░░░░░ to this STEWART Yes ░░░░░░░░ I like my friend ░░░░░░░░ Swalwell but that s ░░░░░░░░ nonsense what he said ░░░░░░░░ ve spent hours and ░░░░░░░░ and hours with these ░░░░░░░░ I ve heard the ░░░░░░░░ question asked 15 different ░░░░░░░░ At the end of ░░░░░░░░ day look we ve ░░░░░░░░ looking at this for ░░░░░░░░ than a year I ░░░░░░░░ t know any reasonable ░░░░░░░░ who is still claiming ░░░░░░░░ s evidence of collusion ░░░░░░░░ just isn t And ░░░░░░░░ I ve said to ░░░░░░░░ even Dianne Feinstein said ░░░░░░░░ said this month ago ░░░░░░░░ s no evidence of ░░░░░░░░ At that point you ░░░░░░░░ two options One is ░░░░░░░░ can say let s ░░░░░░░░ keep asking CAMEROTA Yes ░░░░░░░░ Let s keep going ░░░░░░░░ ll find something And ░░░░░░░░ other is and this ░░░░░░░░ important we ve made ░░░░░░░░ accusations against people You ░░░░░░░░ been accusing them essentially ░░░░░░░░ treason and maybe these ░░░░░░░░ are innocent CAMEROTA Well ░░░░░░░░ I mean maybe the ░░░░░░░░ just doesn t support ░░░░░░░░ of the accusations that ░░░░░░░░ have been making for ░░░░░░░░ long time CAMEROTA Congressman ░░░░░░░░ I leave it to ░░░░░░░░ You re the person ░░░░░░░░ has been listening to ░░░░░░░░ these interviews and gathering ░░░░░░░░ of the evidence It ░░░░░░░░ t sound like they ░░░░░░░░ only focused on collusion ░░░░░░░░ s also obstruction of ░░░░░░░░ Have you found any ░░░░░░░░ on that STEWART You ░░░░░░░░ we re we really ░░░░░░░░ t looking at that ░░░░░░░░ think we re looking ░░░░░░░░ Mr Mueller the special ░░░░░░░░ to look into that ░░░░░░░░ don t think that ░░░░░░░░ re frankly equipped to ░░░░░░░░ that We re not ░░░░░░░░ bunch of attorneys And ░░░░░░░░ s a more technical ░░░░░░░░ The charter of the ░░░░░░░░ was to look at ░░░░░░░░ Russia interfered in our ░░░░░░░░ and how we preclude ░░░░░░░░ from happening in the ░░░░░░░░ Once again Eric is ░░░░░░░░ friend of mine But ░░░░░░░░ think he s an ░░░░░░░░ of one of these ░░░░░░░░ who would like this ░░░░░░░░ keep going who would ░░░░░░░░ to keep telling this ░░░░░░░░ collusion conspiracy and love ░░░░░░░░ that to happen through ░░░░░░░░ midterms But again there ░░░░░░░░ hasn t been evidence ░░░░░░░░ of that To be ░░░░░░░░ to the process and ░░░░░░░░ be fair to these ░░░░░░░░ and the American people ░░░░░░░░ s get our report ░░░░░░░░ and tell them what ░░░░░░░░ ve known If something ░░░░░░░░ comes up after that ░░░░░░░░ think all of us ░░░░░░░░ be willing to look ░░░░░░░░ that additional evidence But ░░░░░░░░ s tell the people ░░░░░░░░ we know at this ░░░░░░░░
