Democrat Senator Mark Warner, Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and Republican Senator Richard Burr, Chair of the committee, are investigating President Trump’s campaign and transition team for possible ties to Russia. Mr Warner warned however that “it’s important to not lose sight of what this investigation is about: an outside foreign adversary sought to hijack” a crucial democratic election. Mr Nunes came under fire by Democrats for appearing to “have the president’s back,” as he himself said, rather than being unbiased in the House’s investigation into the matter of Russian ties. Mr Nunes also met with a secret source on the White House grounds last week to review classified material, which he says indicates that Mr Trump associates' communications were captured in “incidental” surveillance of foreigners.
