Wednesday at a House Judiciary Committee hearing House Democratic Caucus chair, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said special counsel Robert Mueller’s showed U.S. intelligence agencies concluded that Russia “successfully ” interfered with our 2016 presidential election and “artificially” put Donald Trump in the White House.

Jeffries said, “Seventeen different intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia interfered with our election, attacked our democracy for the sole purpose of artificially placing someone at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, they were successful, and that’s also what the Mueller report shows.”

He added, “The notion that it’s a politically inspired witch hunt is just one of 10,000 or more misrepresentations that have been spun out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”
