with. u.s. officials who say they know say, no that is flot-out a lie. another interview this morning on new day, which is fascinating, we spoke to senator james langeford of oklahoma who said he is not convinced there wasn t collusion between trump associates and russia. listen to this. we have to determine was there any collusion between the campaign and any russian individuals. i have no doubt the russians were trying to interfere. what we don t know yet is were individuals trying to reach back out. we have to be able to determine that with certainty and be able to determine how we block this in the days ahead. he says he still wants to find out to prove if there was collusion. he s not convinced there wasn t. right. which is something you hear from reince priebus and sean spicer. administration officials from the president on down say there is nothing here, that there is simply no story.
just moments ago on this show from the republican from ok okay who told us the number one thing he wants to find out is he wants to be able to determine if there was collusion between trump associates and russia. that stuck out to me because president trump s staffers have flat-out said they have seen in evidence of collusion and senate langeford says he still wants to find out if that evidence exists. well, james langeford is a quality human being. he s a good friend of mine. it doesn t matter whether you re democrat or republican. this committee is a professional committee with extremely confidence and professional staff. we could get to the bottom of this quicker than anybody else can. we are not objecting to any select committees or special prosecutors, whatever they want to dochlt. i will assure you we will do our
