During a Thursday testimony, former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski reportedly refused to answer the House Intelligence Committee over questions regarding a meeting between Russians and the Trump campaign that took place in Trump Tower.
The meeting between Lewandowski and the House Intelligence Committee was described as “tense.” According to Congressman Adam Schiff, Lewandowski didn’t answer questions pertaining to the drafting of the statement about the Trump Tower meeting.
Despite what Schiff claimed, Lewandowski said that he had answered all “relevant” questions.
