There was already a Trump appointed
0:02
special counsel at the time
0:04
investigating the origins of the Russia
0:07
probe, but did not find any evidence of
0:09
political interference. And senator, at
0:12
the time, you agreed with the findings
0:14
of the intelligence community. I want to
0:16
play back what you said at the time.
0:18
Yep. The Russians did it. It was the
0:20
Russians who tried to interfere in our
0:22
election. Every member of the committee
0:23
agrees it was the Russians. They didn't
0:25
change the outcome, but they did release
0:28
information embarrassing to the
0:29
Democratic party. It did affect Hillary
0:31
Clinton. There's only one person in
0:33
Washington that I know of that has any
0:35
doubt about what Russia did in our
0:37
election, and it's President Trump.
0:40
Senator, are you now saying that you
0:43
don't believe that Russia tried to
0:45
interfere in the 2016 election?
0:49
Well, what I am saying is that you left
0:51
a lot out here. It's called the Harowitz
0:53
Report. is the Mueller investigation was
0:56
crooked and rotten to the core. The
0:59
Washington Post and the New York Times
1:00
got a pullet surprise for reporting on
1:03
Trump's campaign's relationship with
1:06
Russia. It was all BS at the time. I
1:09
didn't know any of that at the time. I
1:11
didn't know that uh they were
1:13
manufacturing evidence to get FISA
1:15
warrants. There was a confirmation bias.
1:17
Durham didn't say there was no political
1:20
uh bias. He said quite the opposite. He
1:23
said every time a FISA warrant was uh
1:26
sought uh in the Mueller world, they got
1:28
it. And the errors made to get warrants
1:32
in this space were a lot greater than
1:34
they were in anything not involving
1:37
Trump. But what I'm saying is that this
1:39
is new evidence. This is something I
1:41
didn't know. You didn't know that in
1:43
2016 Obama suggested I don't like the
1:46
outcome that there's no evidence Russia
1:49
was involved. Well, now we all say
1:51
Russia was involved, but in 2016 they
1:54
said Russia wasn't involved. What the
1:56
hell happened? Let's get a special
1:58
Hold on, Senator. As you know, former
2:00
President Obama has weighed in through a
2:01
spokesperson. He says that's just
2:03
patently false. I actually spoke to
2:04
Susan Miller, who's a former senior CIA
2:07
officer who helped oversee the 2017
2:09
intelligence assessment on Russian
2:11
interference. She says it's completely
2:13
false that Obama or anyone else asked
2:16
them to change or sway their
2:18
investigation. She says they all She
2:21
says, and she's a Republican, says they
2:23
all would have quit if that had
2:25
happened. Senator, are you trying to
2:27
rewrite history to distract from the
2:29
Epstein matter? Senator,
2:30
no. I'm I'm trying to to to let you know
2:34
and the media know that we found
2:36
something we didn't know before. Uh, at
2:39
the end of the day, I'm not calling for
2:40
a prosecution against President Obama
2:43
for treason, but I am calling for an
