Fact Checker: President Trump stretches others’ comments to claim 'no collusion'
By Salvador Rizzo Salvador Rizzo Reporter for The Fact Checker Email Bio Follow March 11 at 3:00 AM “I feel very badly for Paul Manafort. . . . But if you notice, both his lawyer — a highly respected man — and a very highly respected judge, the judge said there was no collusion with Russia. It’s had nothing to do with collusion. There was no collusion. It’s a collusion hoax. It’s a collusion witch-hoax. I don’t collude with Russia.
On Friday, the president referenced comments from Kevin Downing, attorney for onetime Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and from U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis, who presided over one of Manafort’s trials and sentenced him to prison. Trump for months has been citing Rep. Devin Nunes and a report by the House Intelligence Committee, which Nunes formerly led.The Facts Russia hacked and strategically released Democrats’ emails in 2016 and spread propaganda to interfere in the U.S.
These are strong statements from Burr, although he hedges by noting that the investigation is not complete. “Both the Judge and the lawyer in the Paul Manafort case stated loudly and for the world to hear that there was NO COLLUSION with Russia.” Cohen spent hours accusing Trump of wrongdoing during a hearing of the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Feb. 27. But when the subject turned to Russia, Trump’s former fixer was circumspect.
Nunes is a Trump supporter who has been saying “no collusion” since the summer of 2017, during the early days of various investigations. Trump is relaying Nunes’s remarks accurately.
