In an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press, California Rep. Adam Schiff said “more and more pictures of the puzzle” were coming together after testimony from Carter Page, the former foreign policy adviser, and a guilty plea from George Papadopoulos, another foreign policy adviser to Trump’s Republican campaign.
