Fox’s Wallace: More evidence of Dem collusion with Russia than GOP

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace said Friday that “there is more evidence at this point of Democratic collusion with the Russians than there is of Republican collusion with the Russians” in last year’s presidential election.

Wallace’s commentary comes as Republicans have seized on the revelation that Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee funded a controversial dossier on Donald Trump to point the finger back at Democrats regarding Russia’s meddling in the election. 

The dossier, which offered evidence of links between Trump’s campaign and Russia, was put together by former British spy Christopher Steele.

“This is far more evidence than we’ve ever seen involving President Trump and his campaign that the Democrats were directly involved in trying to get information from the Russians to affect the 2016 campaign,” Wallace said.

“Having said that, we still don’t know about Robert Mueller [and his] investigation. Both things could be true that both sides were trying to get aid from the Russians and it certainly seems true that Russians were playing both sides to try to disrupt the election,” Wallace continued.

“We still have to wait and see, but there is more evidence at this point of Democratic collusion with the Russians than there is of Republican collusion with the Russians.” 

Clinton, DNC Chairman Tom Perez and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), who was head of the DNC during the presidential race, all deny knowing of the dossier’s existence until after it was released. 

President Trump slammed what he characterized as the “fake dossier” and characterized it as the foundation of “the whole Russia hoax” in speaking with reporters on the South Lawn of the White House on Wednesday.
