Rep. Trey Gowdy said that the evidence gathered by the committee clearly showed Russia's disdain for Trump's rival, Hillary Clinton, and was "motivated in whole or in part by a desire to harm her candidacy or undermine her Presidency had she prevailed."
Gowdy believes there's no difference between opposing Clinton and backing Trump in what had become, effectively, a two-person race, said a source, adding that Gowdy "disagrees with the conclusion" that the intelligence agencies got it wrong.
"He believes the debate over whether desiring a negative outcome for Clinton necessarily meant Russia had a preference for candidate Trump is a distinction that doesn't make a difference," the source said.
