The Senate Intelligence Committee announced Friday night they will investigate Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election.
The Senate’s investigation comes as questions continue to mount about Donald Trump’s connection to Russia.
Senator Richard Burr from North Carolina, the committee’s chairman, and Senator Mark Warner from Virginia, the vice chairman, said in a joint statement that the investigation will also focus on Russian cyber activity and “active measures” against the United States.
