Republican consultant defends Trump camaign to Congressional committee

Roger Stone, a consultant for the Trump campaign, has insisted to the House Intelligence Committee that there was no collusion between the campaign and Russians.

He'd brought himself to the attention of the Congressional investigations after admitting he'd communicated with "Guccifer 2.0" - the hacking team which go into the Democratic National Party and is thought to be Russian in origin.

His testimony comes as it is revealed that Trump insiders used private email addresses to do government business, raising eyebrows after repeated attacks on Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server.

After his closed door appearance, Roger Stone stuck to his story that there's no collusion.
