House Intelligence Committee releases long-awaited Russia investigation transcripts
(Worthy News) – The Democrat-led House Intelligence Committee released dozens of witness interview transcripts and related material from its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Chairman Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, made the documents public on Thursday, ending a lengthy standoff with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence over the declassification process. He was also facing rising pressure from Republicans, who in 2018 joined with Democrats in voting unanimously to release the transcripts, and were accusing him of blocking their release.
Back in April of that year, the Republicans, who were in command of the House Intelligence Committee at the time, released a report that said they found no collusion in their investigation into links between the Trump campaign and the Russians. Democrats argued the inquiry was shut down prematurely. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
