The hearing was held less than one week after special counsel Robert Mueller issued a report on potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
During a public hearing on Thursday, House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff presented all of the ways that members of President Donald Trump’s inner circle colluded with the Russians both during and after the 2016 presidential campaign.
“You might think it’s OK that the campaign chairman of a Presidential campaign would offer information about that campaign to a Russian oligarch in exchange for money or debt forgiveness. You might think that’s OK, I don’t," Schiff continued, referring to reports that Manafort had offered briefings on the campaign to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.
"You might think it’s OK that the President son-in-law attempted to establish a secret back channel of communication with the Russians through a Russian diplomatic facility. I don’t think that’s OK," he added.
