House Intelligence Committee member Eric Swalwell insists President Trump is lying about his ties to agents of the Russian government, despite Attorney General William Barr’s summary of the Mueller investigation report exonerating Trump from the Russia collusion allegations.

The California Democrat, who is rumored to be mulling a 2020 presidential bid, said “the only person who has been caught lying about Russia is the president” during a Fox News interview, adding that Trump is working to advance Russia’s strategic interests.
