by Tiana Lowe – nationalreview.com – June 8, 2017 In testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, former FBI director James Comey revealed that a February New York Times article, which asserted that Trump associates and campaign members had “repeated contacts with Russian intelligence” was mostly false. Responding to Virginia senator Mark Warner, the ranking Democrat on the committee, Comey testified that…
