Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said Sunday that there’s no evidence yet of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia following recent charges against Russian nationals and organizations.

“It proves there’s no collusion to this point. There’s no collusion in terms of the Facebook ads, the other social media activity,” Christie, a former prosecutor, said on ABC’s “This Week.”

“We have to see where he goes next, but certainly at this point there’s no allegation by director Mueller and his team of collusion,” he added, referring to special counsel Robert Mueller Robert (Bob) MuellerCNN's Toobin warns McCabe is in 'perilous condition' with emboldened Trump CNN anchor rips Trump over Stone while evoking Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting The Hill's 12:30 Report: New Hampshire fallout MORE.

Christie said Sunday that the charges lay out in detail an operation aimed at disparaging Clinton.

“What we read in the indictment yesterday is very, very clear on that point, and I think everyone’s going to have to come around to the idea that that’s at least part of what the Russians were attempting to do in the election,” Christie said.
