川普：衆議院報告證明沒有“勾結”俄羅斯

U.S. President Donald Trump has commended the release of a report by the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee, saying it proves there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.

Questioned about it during a joint news conference with visiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Trump said, "We were honored. It was a great report. No collusion, which I knew anyway."

He called the investigation "a witch hunt," echoing a phrase he had tweeted earlier that morning, and added: "If we can get along with Russia, that's a good thing, not a bad thing. But there has been nobody tougher on Russia than me."

Trump was questioned about the 243-page report released Friday by the House Intelligence Committee. It contained a large number of redactions and a conclusion that while the meddling by Russia was real, Trump's alleged involvement was not.

It called contacts between Russian officials and campaign aides "ill advised" and says at least one person may have given answers in legal testimony that were "incomplete."

The Republicans on the committee said their report was based on interviews with 73 people and review of more than 300,000 documents.美國總統川普稱讚了共和黨領導的衆議院情報委員會公佈的一份報告。他說，報告證明川普競選團隊與俄羅斯政府沒有勾結。

川普總統和來訪的德國總理默克爾一道舉行記者會時被問到了這個問題。川普說：“我們感到榮幸。這是一份很棒的報告。沒有勾結。這我早就知道了。”

他稱涉俄調查是“獵巫”，也就是捕風捉影式的政治迫害。同天早晨他在推特上也使用了這個詞。他還說：“如果我們能夠跟俄羅斯處得好，那是好事，不是壞事。但是沒有人比我對俄羅斯更強硬了。”

川普被問到的問題是關於衆議院情報委員會星期五公佈的243頁的報告。這份報告因保密原因有大量內容被遮蓋。報告得出結論說，雖然俄羅斯確實干預了選舉，有關川普捲入俄羅斯干預行動的說法並不成立。

報告說，俄羅斯官員與川普競選助理的接觸是“欠考慮的”，並說，至少一人在司法作證時可能給了“不完整”的答案。

委員會的共和黨成員說，他們的報告依據了與73人的面談以及對30多萬份文件的審閱。
