The House Intelligence committee's top Democrat said Sunday that it is too early to say whether there was collusion between the Trump team and Russia, in an apparent moderation of his past claims on the subject.
Schiff's remarks come as his committee probes any potential Trump team-Russia coordination as well as the leaks that precipitated the resignation of former national security adviser Mike Flynn as part of a broader investigation into Russian meddling.
"I don't think we can say anything definitively at this point," Schiff said on CNN's State of the Union when asked about potential collusion. "We are still at the very early stage of the investigation."
"The only thing I can say is that it would be irresponsible for us not to get to the bottom of this," he said.
Schiff said on March 22nd that he had seen "more than circumstantial evidence" of collusion between Trump associates and the Kremlin.
