Russia probe: Did Trump campaign and Kremlin collude? Congress unlikely to provide answer

WASHINGTON — Did the Trump campaign collude with the Russians to try to ensure that Donald Trump would be elected president in 2016?

It's one of the central questions of congressional investigations into Russian meddling, but Congress is unlikely to answer it when their probes conclude in the next few months, legal experts say.

"Will they provide Americans with a definitive answer on collusion? Certainly not," said Charles Tiefer, a professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law and the special deputy chief counsel for the House Iran-Contra Committee's investigation of the Reagan administration. "People will be frustrated."

A straightforward answer to the question would require bold bipartisanship, and that's not something Congress seems able to muster, experts said.
