President Trump’s defiant mantra — “no collusion!”– became a rallying cry for his reelection Sunday after the Justice Department said there was no evidence that his campaign conspired with Russia during the 2016 election. Campaign officials released a lengthy video called “Collusion Hoax!” and White House officials issued a flurry of talking points that defended the president while attacking Democrats. Democrats are likely to bring Trump aides to Capitol Hill to describe situations that could be embarrassing for him. “This is very good,” Trump responded after hearing from his lawyers, according to White House spokesman Hogan Gidley. When he came back to the White House, he declined to take questions but briefly stopped on the South Lawn.
