US Senate Panel to Examine If Russia Helped Trump Win Elections

The Quint  

The Senate Intelligence Committee will investigate possible contacts between Russia and the people associated with US political campaigns as part of a broader investigation into Moscow's meddling in the 2016 presidential election. R-N.C., the committee's chairman, and Mark Warner, D-Va., the panel's top Democrat, said the panel "will follow the intelligence where it leads." Burr and Warner said that as part of the investigation they will interview senior officials from the Obama administration and the incoming Trump administration. A declassified intelligence report released last week said Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a hidden campaign to influence the election to favour President-elect Donald Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton, revelations that have roiled Washington.
