The GOP majority on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released their final report on the Russia investigation on Friday.
In their report, the Republicans said the Trump campaign used “poor judgement and ill-considered actions” in dealing with the Russians. However, they found no evidence that it “colluded, coordinated or conspired with the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
“The Committee found no evidence that President Trump’s pre-campaign dealings formed the basis for collusion during the campaign,” according to the House Republicans.
Additionally, they found the Trump campaign’s periodic praise for for and communications with Wikileaks to “highly objectionable.” It is also “inconsistent with the national security interests of the United States.
Russian hackers stole e-mails from the DNC and Clinton campaign. Wikileaks published those e-mails prior to the presidential election in November. Trump praised Wikileaks at least five times during his campaign trail a month before the election. At one time, he said “I love Wikileaks.”
