Republican senators are escalating their probe into the 2016 election, requesting interviews with people they believe may be involved with impairing the campaign of President Trump
there’s no evidence that Ukraine meddled in the election, Sen. Ron Johnson said on Friday that “there are many unanswered questions that have festered for years.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer . did not mince words after the announcement, calling for new election security and sanctions legislation and alleging that "every day that Senate Republicans parrot Putin’s talking points further undermines our democracy—and our national security." But Republicans have vehemently defended their work as legitimate and made clear their investigation is separate from the discredited idea that Ukraine hacked the DNC servers.
Johnson and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham bashed the media for not investigating the matter, with Graham concluding “that to believe that the mainstream media will investigate all things Russia or Ukraine is to hope against hope.” Sen. John Kennedy has also advanced the theory that Ukraine played a significant role disrupting the election and was contradicted by many of his colleagues; Kennedy has since said he's done discussing Ukraine.
