House intel panel's final report: No Russia 'collusion'

The House Intelligence Committee released a heavily redacted final report Friday on its yearlong Russia investigation documenting its previously reported conclusion that it found no evidence of collusion between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government during the 2016 election.

Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., the chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said the Republican-authored report confirms that from “day one, the ‘Russian collusion’ investigation into the Trump campaign was an empty case.”

“It is a house built on sand,” the congressman said.

Meadows urged Robert Mueller to “wrap up” his special counsel investigation into alleged Russian “collusion.”

The House intel report, released over the objections of minority Democratic Party members, said the committee “found no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded, coordinated, or conspired with the Russian government.”

However, the committee said it did find “poor judgment and ill-considered actions by the Trump and Clinton campaign.”
