Chris Wallace spanks Fox & Friends' Pete Hegseth over his assertion that Russia is a "nothingburger"
During a tease for Wallaces show, Fox News Sunday, host Clayton Morris asserted that the Russia story imploded this week because the testimony of former FBI Director James Comey did not provide details about collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Wallace agreed that there was no hard evidence of collusion so far but he noted that Attorney General Jeff Sessions testimony to Congress this week could shed light on possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump. And Sessions is also expected to address allegations that he had an additional meeting with the Russian ambassador that was never disclosed.
Little evidence has been shown that theres collusion with Russia, co-host Pete Hegseth opined. Now we know that Comey was a leaker, potentially multiple times. Can the investigation move in those directions instead of the Russia investigation, which is proven to be pretty much a nothingburger?
I certainly wouldnt say its a nothingburger, Wallace replied. We have to see where it goes. Among other things, we still havent heard from Michael Flynn. And hes one of the key figures in all of this. He was the one who had the most contacts Russia. Hes the one who got paid by Russia.
