Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., on Sunday said President Trump’s claim the Obama administration wiretapped his campaign headquarters last fall will be part of the Senate intelligence committee’s investigation into Russia’s interference during the election.
“As part of our inquiry, we are going to review allegations of any kind of improper contacts between Russian officials and campaign officials or other American citizens, and I’m sure that we will be reviewing any allegations such as this,” Cotton told Fox News host Chris Wallace. “I think all these matters will be part of our inquiry.”
Cotton, who sits on the intelligence panel, said he has “seen no evidence” of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during last year’s election, despite intelligence reports alleging that activity.
Cotton defended Trump’s treatment of Russia, calling it harsher than his predecessor’s based on foreign policies that have already implemented.
