Rep. Norma Torres (D., Calif.) said on Friday that Russian president Vladimir Putin has compromising information on President Donald Trump but provided no evidence when pressed about it.

CNN anchor Brianna Keilar asked Torres why Trump has appeared to side with Putin and believe Ukraine intervened in the 2016 election.

"I am afraid that Vladimir Putin may have something on the president, and it is the reason why the president has continued to play the handmaid to Vladimir Putin," Torres said.

"You said you think that Putin may have something, meaning compromising information, kompromat, as it's said in Russia, on President Trump? Do you have proof of that? Is there something specific that you're thinking of when you say that?" Keilar asked.

Torres offered no evidence for her claim but argued it is the only explanation.

"There is no other reason why President Trump continues to capitulate to what Putin is telling him," Torres said. "He doesn't do that with anyone else. He doesn't do that with his advisers. He doesn't do that with his American ambassadors who are providing him information, who have told him time and time and time again … that this is nothing but Russian propaganda, that he continues to not believe our own intelligence over Putin."

Robert Mueller's investigation into the 2016 election concluded there was no evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia to influence the 2016 election.

Maxine Waters on Trump: ‘He’s a Dishonorable Human Being Who Deserves to Be Impeached’

Sunday on MSNBC’s “Kasie DC,” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) addressed her push to impeach President Donald Trump that began the first day of his presidency.

Waters said she is “proud of the fact” she has led the “discussion” to impeach Trump, reasoning he is “a dishonorable human being.”

“I started to pay attention to this president when he was running in the primary election,” Waters outlined. “The way he treated his own colleagues, the name-calling, the business of talking about grabbing women by their private parts, the fact that he obviously paid hush money to Cohen, his lawyer, to give to Stormy Daniels, to try to keep her quiet. These are things that you just don’t expect a President of the United States of America to be about. He defined himself pretty clearly. In addition to that, this is a president who has shown he has no respect for the Constitution. He doesn’t care about the democracy. He has embraced Putin. Putin is responsible for hacking into the Democratic National Committee and undermining our processes for election, undermining our democracy.”

She continued, “[Y]es, I saw this. Other people saw this. They kept saying, but he will become presidential. No, that’s his character. He would never become presidential. He’s a dishonorable human being who deserved to be impeached, and I wished we had done it earlier.”

Waters went on to praise the whistleblower as a “patriot.”

“[T]hank God for the whistleblower, who is a patriot, who said that he was going to share the information because Americans need to know what this president has done. So, I feel proud of the fact that I opened the discussion, that I led the discussion, that I tried to get others to join me,” she added.
