false. he has often maintained there was no collusion by the campaign. then yesterday he told dana bash he never meant to send any new signals about what the mueller investigation might be finding and he followed that up with this defeat. my statements on collusion haven t changed. the misinterpretation has changed. the point is, i represent the president, not the campaign, but from both perspectives, there is no involvement in collusion with russians on the e-mail hack, the only possible crime. the supreme court meets behind closed doors today to discuss a mystery case related to the special counsel s russia probe, it involves an unknowned foreign corporation that is fighting a subpoena request. lower courts have already ruled that the company must turnover the information requested and has imposed fines for every day it fails to do so. it is king kong versus godzilla, that is how one trump
