The US House Intelligence Committee did not find any evidence so far proving that Donald Trump’s advisers had any contacts with Russian officials during the 2016 US presidential campaign, Committee Chair Devin Nunes said in a press conference on Monday.
On February 15, The New York Times reported, citing phone records and intercepted calls, members of Trump’s presidential campaign team and several associates allegedly contacted Russian intelligence and government officials prior to the 2016 US elections. Both Washington and Moscow have repeatedly refuted the allegations.
"I don't have any evidence of any phone calls. It does not mean that they do not exist, but I don't have that. And what I have been told by many folks that there is nothing there. But we are still looking into that."
The tensions between Trump and a number of US news outlets has intensified since the inauguration of the politician in January, Sputnik reported.
Earlier in the month, the president slammed "fake news" reports that kept citing anonymous White House sources alleging chaos in his administration as well as contacts with Russian intelligence services.
