White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said the real story from FBI Director James Comey’s Tuesday testimony is that vote totals were not changed through cyberattacks during last year’s presidential election, rather than the agency’s probe into possible ties between President Trump’s campaign and Russia.
Comey “confirmed that no votes were changed or affected in any of the swing states that President Trump won,” Conway said Tuesday on “Fox & Friends.”
“That’s important because if you listen to the Democrats and many of their friends, they insist this collusion and this effect on the election — it simply was not there.”
{mosads}Conway said the FBI’s probe of possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia has not yielded any evidence.
“This investigation’s been going on for eight months,” she said. “We know very little about it. No connection, no fruits.”
Comey on Monday confirmed the FBI is investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 race, including possible links between Trump’s campaign and Moscow.
The FBI director also revealed the Department of Justice has “no information” backing Trump’s claim that former President Obama wiretapped him last year.
Trump tweeted earlier this month without providing evidence that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower in New York City before Election Day.
