>> okay. well, at the very least, tony's conversation with guccifer demonstrated once again that the trump campaign officials were communicating with russian operatives. what is less clear, however, is whether the trump campaign ever provided direction to russian operatives or were aware that specific actions were being carried out to influence the election. for example, it has been suggested that last year, the russians used thousands of paid trolls, human trolls. we know this and botnets to flood the internet particularly social media with fake news aimed as the influencing the election and favoring president trump. i'm curious wlls such actions were part of a coordinated effort. is there any evidence that the trump campaign assisted or directed those efforts? >> that's something that i can't answer here but i would refer you back to what i said was the purpose of the investigation to,
