Russia Investigation Stalls in House
House continues to stall, as Senate investigation into Donald Trump and Russia intensifies
Even if the House GOP continues to stall on Trump-Russia, that won’t interfere with the ability of the Senate to continue its own Trump-Russia investigation. Meanwhile there is an additional twist. It was revealed on Friday that Trump’s White House had leaned on House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes and Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Richard Burr in the hope of influencing the Russia investigation, sparking accusations of an attempted White House coverup.
On the Senate side of the fence, Republican Senator Susan Collins made waves during recess last week when she said in an interview that she wants Michael Flynn to testify before her Senate Intelligence Committee. She also threatened to subpoena Donald Trump’s tax returns,... Because the Republicans only hold a one-seat majority on the committee, Collins can effectively get her way on anything she wants, simply by siding with the Democrats on the committee. With Collins on board, the Democrats on the Senate Intel Committee don’t need the support of Burr to move forward with the Trump-Russia investigation.
