In a “New York Times” interview on Dec. 28, Donald Trump claimed Dianne Feinstein said “there is no collusion” between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Our ruling
President Trump recently claimed Sen. Feinstein said “there is no collusion,” between the Trump campaign and Russia.
He apparently based his statement on responses Feinstein gave in a November 2017 CNN interview about the Russia probe. While Feinstein said she had “not so far” seen specific evidence about one portion of the investigation, that’s far from declaring there was no collusion. Speaking more broadly about whether collusion took place, Feinstein said in an October 2017 interview that it’s “an open question.” The president’s claim distorted the senator’s words and gave the wrong impression.
We rate Trump’s claim False.
