Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Sen. Richard Burr said Wednesday their investigation has found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian agents.
“We have no hard evidence of collusion,” Mr. Burr, North Carolina Republican, said on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom.” “Now we’re not over. That leaves the opportunity of finding something that we don’t have today.”
President Trump touted the senator’s statement on Twitter.
