She also confirmed that Trump is delaying his anticipated press conference

Washington (CNN) Donald Trump's team maintains there is no evidence that Russia hackings favored him in the presidential race, but a top adviser also said the President-elect would not "interfere" in any congressional investigations into what happened.

Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway told CNN's Anderson Cooper Monday that Trump remains unconvinced that any breaches were part of an attempt to push Trump into the White House. She charged that media reports of a Russia-directed attempt to boost the GOP nominee were based on unnamed sources and were unproven and partisan.

"This smells like politics, plain and simple," she said. "We in the Trump presidency do not want foreign governments interfering in our elections. That's very clear. We don't want intelligence interfering in our politics. But we also certainly do not want what we have now, which is politics interfering in our intelligence."

"He won't interfere with an investigation. He's the President of the United States. The legislature can do what it wants," she said.
