‘No Trump-Russia collusion,’ House committee says
Democrats have labelled the year-long investigation ‘fundamentally incomplete’

Republican Mike Conaway (pictured above) said the committee agreed with US intelligence agencies that Russia had worked to interfere in the election.
However, Conaway appeared to preempt the findings of special council Robert Mueller's investigation into the affair by saying there was no proof that anyone from the Trump campaign assisted with that interference.
