Proven facts aren’t proven facts to CNN.

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo Wednesday rejected the idea that the Hillary Clinton campaign accepted dirt on then-candidate Donald Trump from a foreign government during the 2016 election, saying there isn’t “any proof” of it.
During a panel discussion debating President Trump’s remarks that suggested that he would “take” opposition research from a foreign government and not report it to the FBI, pro-Trump commentator Rob Astorino expressed that the president was “wrong” but pointed out what he described as a “double standard” between the uproar of what Trump “might do” in 2020 as opposed to the former secretary of state, who “did do it.”
“Her campaign and the DNC paid for a foreigner’s information on her opponent,” Astorino said. “So it’s already been done. And this is the double standard and hypocrisy that we’re seeing today… We don’t even have an investigation into how Hillary Clinton did this or why she did it and the Democrats are saying ‘don’t do that investigation.'”
CNN panelist Van Jones dismissed Astorino’s commentary as him being on the “‘what about Hillary Clinton’ bandwagon” and that she’s “not president.” Cuomo agreed, insisting it’s not a “viable argument.”
