Before the Durham report, TV networks allowed Russiagate booster Adam Schiff to claim 'evidence' of collusion
Fox News
For years, the liberal networks rolled out the red carpet for Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who repeatedly claimed he saw "evidence" proving the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.
While the DOJ was largely silent on its probe, there was no one in Washington as vocal about the existence of "evidence" that proved such collusion than Adam Schiff. Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to joseph.wulfsohn@fox.com and on Twitter: @JosephWulfsohn.
Schiff, the California Democratic lawmaker now running for Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat, was the top Democrat on the House Intel Committee during the Trump administration. And having such a senior role on Capitol Hill allowed unprecedented access to the nation's top secrets, particularly when it comes to foreign adversaries. When he repeatedly claimed that he had seen "evidence" of collusion, many in the media had reason to believe what he said was credible.
