Claims by team Obama that Trump is a Russian asset not supported after string of investigations

Rep. Adam Schiff says Russia is helping Trump's campaign again Black Republican Kimberly Klacik's campaign ad stuns public, goes viral John Thompson, legendary Georgetown coach, dead at 78 President Obama's most senior intelligence leaders made that claim on their paid cable news appearances.

"The Trump campaign gave the impression of being interested in using Russia's interference for their own benefit. Trump was not an agent of Putin, and there is no evidence of collusion. But the infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, which the Trump team attended expecting to receive damning information on Secretary Clinton they knew was coming from the Russian government, understandably raised suspicion. The Senate report confirmed FSB-connected lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya never produced this information and instead lobbied on behalf of lifting the Magnitsky Act sanctions," Mr. Hoffman said.

The report quotes her: "With some I was briefly met by chance, while others there was a much longer relationship due to mutual affection. For example, Trump is a person who I like very much. I cannot call him a friend, because we do not call up and do not meet daily, but perhaps we would live in the same city, we would communicate more closely. Let's just say we are on a friendly footing." Peter O'Brien, former executive with Russia's state-run Rosneft petroleum-gas firm, said Mr. Geovanis attended a holiday party in 2015 and told a Trump story.

" Regardless of Mr. Trump's possible love life in Moscow, the committee's final report findings are devoid of evidence that the president is a Russian spy, informant or intelligence asset.

James R. Clapper, former director of national intelligence, said in December 2017 that Mr. Trump is a Russian intelligence asset.

"Source close to TRUMP campaign however confirms regular exchange with Kremlin has existed for at least 8 years, including intelligence fed back to Russia on oligarchs' activities in US," Mr. Steele said of Mr. Trump in a dossier memo.

No report suggests that Mr. Trump was feeding the Kremlin intelligence, much less for eight years.
