"It may not be a crime to build a Trump Tower in Moscow," Schiff said."Or for [former Trump attorney] Michael Cohen to seek the Kremlin's help to do so. It may not be a crime to try to enrich yourself with a foreign business deal even while running for president, or to lie about it to the American people. But it is deeply compromising."
