MSNBC host Ali Velshi on Tuesday asserted that it is "ludicrous" for President Donald Trump to deny that his presidential campaign colluded with Russia in an effort to win the the 2016 election.
During Tuesday's Velshi & Ruhle program, Velshi ran down the list of known contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian assets, agents and oligarchs.
"There's a lot of stuff in the president's [Tuesday morning] tweet that's not true, but let's actually run through the one in which he says, 'Oh, there's no collusion,'" Velshi said.
The MSNBC host began his list by noting that special counsel Robert Mueller reportedly wants to ask Trump about former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's phone conversation with former Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and "whether or not these two guys discussed sanctions during the transition."
"Mr. President, that would actually be collusion," Velshi explained. "And in more recent memory, the alleged offer of a pardon by [former Trump lawyer] John Dowd to Mike Flynn."
