By Andrew Young-
President Donald Trump insists there was “absolutely no collusion” between his election campaign and Russia, in his response to questions about a guilty plea made by his former national security adviser Michael Flynn in connection with the Russia investigation.
Mr Flynn pleaded guilty to a charge of lying to the FBI about his contact with then-Russian Ambassador to the U.S, Sergey Kislyak about sanctions and a UN vote over Israel.
“What has been shown is no collusion, no collusion,” Mr Trump spoke as he departed the White House to head to New York for political fundraisers expected to raise millions of dollars. “There’s been absolutely no collusion, so we’re very happy.
Trump acted unconcerned with news of mr. Flynn’s scheduled co-operation with investigators over allegations of collusion with the Russians to interfere with the 2016 U.S elections. Trump said he was “not worried” about what Mr Flynn might tell investigators as he cooperates with the probe, but said: “We’ll see what happens.”
