I encountered and am aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between russian officials and u. S. Persons involved in the Trump Campaign. Reporter for the first time, john brennan saying during the campaign he was concerned about ties between the russians and the Trump Campaign. So much so, he thought the fbi should investigate and he warned the russians to cut it out.

I dont know whether or not such collusion and thats your term such collusion existed. I dont know. Reporter that question is now at the heart of multiple investigations.
