It's Big Baby retrofitting a statement to fit his mythology. Here is the interview:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/richard-burr-on-senate-intelligence-committees-russia-investigation-2-years-on/

Here's the statement that the president says exonerates him:

For now, Burr appears to have arrived at his answer. "If we write a report based upon the facts that we have, then we don't have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia," he said.

The Senate investigation is not over. There is no official conclusion or findings. Burr is stating what he has so far. The interview is way more nuanced and Big Baby doesn't do nuance.
