SOUNDBITE (English) Corey Lewandowski, Former Campaign Manager of Donald Trump's 2016 Campaign for President:"Chairman Nadler, Ranking Member Collins and members of the committee good afternoon. I'd like to start off by expressing my hope that today's hearing will be productive in revealing the truth both to the committee and to the American people. For the record and as you likely know I've already testified before Congress on three separate occasions. I sat at length with the staff of the special counsel's office. There too my time and answers were given freely and without hesitation. I think in one form or another I've already answered questions for well over 20 hours. So now here I am before the House Judiciary Committee to answer the same questions again."2. Cutaway of Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler listening (PARTIALLY COVERS PREVIOUS SOUNDBITE)3. SOUNDBITE (English) Corey Lewandowski, Former Campaign Manager of Donald Trump's 2016 Campaign for President: "As a special counsel determined there was no conspiracy or collusion between the Trump campaign and any foreign governments either on my watch or afterward. Not surprisingly after the Mueller report was made public, interest in the fake Russia collusion narrative has fallen apart. In conclusion and it's sad to say this country has spent over three years and 40 million taxpayer dollars on these investigations and it's now clear that the investigation was populated by many Trump haters who had their own agenda to take down a duly elected president of the United States. As for actual collusion or conspiracy, there was none. What there has been, however, is harassment of this president from the day he won the election."4. Cutaway of Rep. Jim Jordan listening (PARTIALLY COVERS PREVIOUS SOUNDBITE)5. SOUNDBITE (English) Corey Lewandowski, Former Campaign Manager of Donald Trump's 2016 Campaign for President:"We as a nation would be better served if elected officials like yourself concentrated your efforts to combat the true crises facing our country as opposed to going down rabbit holes like this hearing. Instead of focusing on petty and personal politics the committee focus on solving the challenges of this generation. Imagine how many people we could help or how many lives we could save." 6.
