.MaddowBlog: The Senate Intelligence Committee’s GOP chair has some explaining to do.
It’s easy to forget that the Senate Intelligence Committee’s investigation into the Russia scandal is ongoing. The probe doesn’t generate a lot of attention or drama, but it’s been quietly proceeding in the background, and it’s likely the committee’s members will eventually release some kind of report on their findings.
Within a week of Comey briefing the “Gang of Eight” congressional leaders about the FBI’s Russia probe in March 2017, Mueller wrote that then-White House Counsel Donald McGahn’s office was in contact with the North Carolina Republican “and appears to have received information about the status of the FBI investigation.”
According to Donaldson’s notes, which Mueller referenced, McGahn’s office was briefed by Burr “on the existence of ‘4-5 targets.’” It was not clear if Donaldson was present for that briefing, or was simply taking notes on something she had heard.
