EXCERPT:
COONS: “One of the things that’s striking in the circumstantial evidence around this case is a significant change in position by the Republican Party. Their platform and how they described our obligations as a nation to support Ukraine and Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty and to push back on Russian aggression, particularly in eastern Ukraine, and to continue to recognize Crimea as part of Ukraine, my understanding is that that position changed in the Republican Party platform and that leaders in the Trump campaign had a role in that. So you’ve got Russian leaders, intelligence leaders and Russian political leaders being caught on American intercepts bragging that they can have an influence on the campaign and potentially on American politics and then you see not long afterwards a step taken that changes the Republican Party’s platform. That’s circumstantial evidence.”
