WASHINGTON — The House intelligence committee voted Thursday to approve its final report into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, ending its inquiry and giving a final endorsement to the GOP conclusion there was no co-ordination between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia. The committee concluded that meetings between the Russian ambassador in Washington and Trump campaign officials, including now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, did not represent co-ordination with Russia in any way. Democrats will have their own report and say they will continue to investigate the meddling. The firm, Cambridge Analytica, worked for the Trump campaign. In addition, the report targets intelligence agencies for not using “proper analytic tradecraft” to assess Russian President Vladimir Putin’s intentions in its postelection report.
