House Intel Committee Democrat: More Evidence of Trump-Russia Ties
------------------------------------------------------------------

House Democrats pushed Thursday for an independent probe into alleged
ties between top Trump officials and Russia's government, saying House
Intelligence Committee chair and former Trump transition team member
Devin Nunes can't be trusted to lead an investigation. California Rep.
Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, told
CNN Thursday he's uncovered further evidence that Trump officials may
have actively colluded with Russian officials.

Rep. Adam Schiff: "The kind of evidence that you would submit to a grand
jury at the beginning of an investigation. It's not the kind of evidence
you take to a trial jury when you're trying to prove something beyond a
reasonable doubt. But we're at the beginning of an investigation. And
given the gravity of the subject matter, I think that the evidence
certainly warrants us doing a thorough investigation."
