Intelligence Committee will investigate possible Russia-Trump links
The Senate panel will use subpoenas if necessary to secure testimony from Obama administration officials as well as Trumps team, Richard Burr and Mark Warner said.
Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) said late Friday that his committee would investigate possible contacts between Donald Trumps campaign and Russia, reversing himself one day after telling reporters that the issue would be outside of his panels ongoing probe into Moscows election-disruption efforts.
Burr and the intelligence panels top Democrat, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, said in a joint statement that the committee's probe would touch on "intelligence regarding links between Russia and individuals associated with political campaigns" as well as Russian cyberattacks and other election meddling outlined in an intelligence report released last week
PoliticoBurr said late Thursday that he did not plan to touch on possible contacts between Trump emissaries and Russia, asserting that the issue likely falls under the FBI's purview. "We don't have anything to do with political campaigns," the Republican said.
The joint announcement from Burr and Warner commits the intelligence panel not only to probing possible Trump-Russia ties, but also to releasing "both classified and unclassified reports" with its conclusions and holding some open hearings. However, "the bulk of the committee's business" during the investigation will be tackled in private, the senators said.
