The Republican National Committee downplayed the significance of former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony on Thursday before the Senate Intelligence Committee, calling it “a last ditch attempt to save face.”

“Today’s testimony proved what we have known all along: President Trump is not under investigation, there’s still no evidence of collusion, and he did not hinder the investigations in any way,” said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel in a statement. “Nobody thinks more of James Comey than James Comey, and his testimony today was simply a last ditch attempt to save face with the American people.”
