Rand Paul: Trump Collusion With Russia ‘Huge Myth’ by Democrats
Democrats are pushing false accusations that President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia, according to Republican Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky) .
“They’ve sunk their teeth into something, they think they’ll eventually find something. Everything is, sort of, built upon a huge myth as far as I’m concerned. I don’t think there’s been any facts presented that anybody broke the law. Yet this goes on and on, ” Paul said Wednesday on the Fox News program “Fox & Friends.”
“Not only is there no evidence that the Trump administration or campaign was connected to Russia or committed any crime, no evidence at all of committing a crime. There’s not even an accusation that I know of what crime potentially would have potentially been committed, ” the senator said.
“So all this breathless talk about people, there’s a lot of hypocrisy going on, ” Paul added.
Paul said that Democrats also wanted FBI Director Jim Comey to be fired.
“They were for getting rid of Comey, too, but now they’re going to say it’s all about this Russia investigation, which hasn’t produced one iota of evidence, ” Paul said.
Before his firing, Comey had sought more resources for his investigation into Russian interference in the election, according to The New York Times .
