Chris Coons: There’s Lots of Circumstantial Evidence Connecting Trump and Russia

‘I am not the person in the position to say, yes, there is concrete evidence’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

COONS: "I am not the person in the position to say, yes, there is concrete evidence. I will say this. It is very rare in the case that there was a crime committed that early on in the investigation, you get right to the finishing point, right to the definitive proof. There is lots and lots of circumstantial evidence where public pronouncements have been made by folks saying we had no meetings with Russians, we have fully disclosed all contacts. And then subsequently it’s been proven to be untrue. There are dozens of incidents where senior campaign officials or senior administration officials have had to apologize for or amend comments they’ve made or in a few cases have been dismissed because they were untruthful about contacts with Russians. I think we owe it to the American people given we know that Russia interfered in our 2016 campaign to get to the bottom of this and to either clear any allegations of potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia or find that there really is evidence there and take appropriate action."
