Both the House and Senate committees investigating the collusion between the con artist and Russia during the presidential campaign are now looking at the sudden change to the Republican platform which took place at the convention. Specifically, the change to the platform on Ukraine whereby this item, and only this item, was acted upon by the con artist campaign staff.
The action taken watered down the wording from “providing lethal defensive weapons” to Ukraine so it could defend itself against from the Russian attacks to "appropriate assistance" to Ukraine. This change came about because, according the dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele, parts of which have been independently confirmed, the campaign agreed to weaken U.S. support for Ukrainian forces in exchange for help defeating his campaign rival, Hillary Clinton.
What makes this change interesting, and relevant, to not only the committees investigating the collusion but Mueller's independent investigation as well, is the reaction of the con artist during an interview with George Stephanopoulos.
The platform was suddenly changed and he wasn't involved? He didn't know? That's his excuse?
Later, the con artist gave a very peculiar reason for the change.
From what he heard? The only ones saying this was Putin who orchestrated the Crimean seizure and subsequent fake "election".

“In return the Trump team had agreed to sideline Russian intervention in Ukraine as a campaign issue.”

George Stephanopoulos: "Then why did you soften the GOP platform on Ukraine?"
Trump: "I wasn't involved in that. Honestly, I was not involved."
Stephanopoulos: "Your people were."
Trump: "Yeah. I was not involved in that. I'd like to -- I'd have to take a look at it. But I was not involved in that."
Stephanopoulos: "Do you know what they did?"
Trump: "They softened it, I heard, but I was not involved."

"The people of Crimea, from what I’ve heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were."
