The House Intelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation to inform the public what was going on:
‘(The) president did give up a great deal by going to that (North Korea) summit. By enhancing Kim Jong Un’s prestige on the world stage, by giving up those military exercises in the last summit and getting nothing for it.’
Schiff continued, explaining where that evidence occurred:
‘I think there is direct evidence in the emails from the Russians through their intermediary offering dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of what is described in writing as the Russian government effort to help elect Donald Trump.’
The House committee chair continued, noting a 2016 Trump Tower meeting between the Russians, son-in-law Jared Kushner, Donald Trump Jr., and a campaign chair who is now imprisoned Paul Manafort:
‘They offer that dirt. There is an acceptance of that offer in writing form the president’s son, Don Jr., and there is overt acts and furtherance of that. That to me is direct evidence. But there’s also abundant circumstantial evidence.’
