Thank you, Anderson. I am Chris Cuomo. Welcome to Primetime. This president is peddling fake conspiracy theories to cover his own real wrongs. Period.

We have two new pieces of reporting that reveal that Republicans were well aware of this Ukraine nonsense and they looked into it in their Senate Intel committee.

What were the results? We have them. And we're going to dig into a troubling question tonight.

Did this call that the president claims vindicates him with EU ambassador, Saunlin?

Did it ever happen? Why that's a real question we have at tonight.

Also, a Democratic senator with the state of play in the Senate. We have a Republican member of Congress here to ask, is he okay with what the president is selling to this country?

It's a big week. What do you say? Let's get effort.

One side note, the House Intel impeachment report is complete. How can that be a side note? Here's why because it's all about the state of play for the president.

Okay, that's being reviewed ahead of tomorrow's big vote and then we'll start going to the judiciary committee and see what happens there. The GOP version is out as well.

The two reports literally bear no resemblance to each other. One set of facts, two realities, that's a lot of trouble for the rest of us.

But first, we have breaking news that will help understand the facts in this situation just dropping on our watch.

Now, it takes us into that past of the Senate Intel committee as you may know run by Republicans.

All right, here's what CNN's Jake Tapper can now confirm for us. That panel, again, led by Republicans, looked into allegations that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election.

Wait, they did? Because they're saying it just happened. I know. That's why this matters. They looked at it way back in 2017. In 2017, what did they find? No evidence to support the claims.

What, the DNC lady that's got the same name as the Taco Bell? Yes, Chalupa. They looked into it. Oh, but the black book, they say it's fake it. Yes, they looked into it. Oh, wait a minute, it was Ukraine, not Russia. Yes, they looked into it. Okay.

And that name brought up again and again by Nunez and all those other clowns and defenders during the hearings. They looked into it. They found nothing.

That is known by the same people who are pretending they're real questions now. Why? Now, that's a question worth getting after right now. Let's put it to GOP Congressman Randy Weber. Always good to have you on the show. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

Thank you, Chris. We did. I hope you did too.

Now, I am not blaming you for this. I asked Senator Kennedy to come on the show. He came on last week to clarify his comments. He didn't seem to walk backwards. He's invited whenever he wants it. However, you do not believe that the findings about Russia interfering in the 2016 election echoed by the Senate Intel Committee run by redoubtable Republican Senator Barr or wrong, right?

Well, you now you're saying Russia or Ukraine, Chris. I'm saying Russia because I'm speaking about fact here. Russia did it. Okay. Well, said it in his committee. The Intel Committee said it. Everyone has looked at it has said it. Do you agree with that?

Well, of course, that's what they say they found. And of course, that's one of the points of contention. Let's be honest here. It's not a point of contention that the president like. Well, what I'm saying is the fact that there is still some leftover interest in what happened in how the Russians and the Ukraine Ukrainians did it. No, no Ukraine.

This believed the president. No Ukraine. No, I get that. No, I don't get it because you just you just added them. Don't add them because they have nothing to do. Well, well, no, what I'm saying is the president thinks that they did. He doesn't trust the Ukraine, the government of Ukraine. And that's part and parcel to everything he's been doing.
