US House Republicans find no proof of Trump-Russia collusion
Republicans on a House panel have found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin in the US 2016 presidential election.
Mike Conaway, who leads the inquiry, said the House Intelligence Committee agreed with US intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the race.
But he said Republicans did not find proof that it was to sway the election in favour of President Donald Trump.
The inquiry is one of several probes looking into alleged Russian meddling.
Investigations by special counsel Robert Mueller and the Senate Intelligence Committee are ongoing.
Mr Mueller is leading a criminal investigation while the congressional inquiries serve to inform the public and make legislative recommendations.
Mr Conaway, the Texas Republican who has led the yearlong probe, announced on Monday the House committee had finished interviewing witnesses and planned to share a draft report with Democratic colleagues on Tuesday.
