MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski accused deputy White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders of lying on Wednesday about the conclusion investigators reached regarding the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Sanders said House and Senate committees and the FBI spent a year looking into the Russia probe and came “to the same conclusion,” that there was no collusion between Russian officials and Trump campaign officials.

“You're actually not telling the truth right now,” Brzezinski interjected on MSNBC's “Morning Joe.”

“Wow, that’s a pretty bold claim,” Sanders responded.

Co-host Joe Scarborough had first confronted Sanders for “twisting his words” when she said Scarborough also believed there is no evidence of collusion.

“Since you brought my name up twice now, again, I expected liberal Democrats, a couple of them twisted my words yesterday. I’m surprised that you are twisting my words,” he said.

Scarborough said it may take an independent prosecutor to dig deep enough in the investigation since "nothing obvious" has surfaced yet.

“What I said [was] there's nothing obvious there. Doesn't that just prove we need an independent counsel to investigate this?”

Since November's election, reports have revealed that several people associated with Trump's campaign, including Carter Page and Paul Manafort, had contacts with the Russian government prior to the 2016 presidential race, though no evidence of direct collusion has been so far unearthed.
