Three Republican senators are calling for interviews from two people involved in an alleged effort by the Ukrainian embassy to undermine President Trump’s campaign in 2016.
The request for the interviews comes after Sen. Chuck Grassley started a probe in 2017 into allegations that a consultant from the Democratic National Committee sought damaging information on then-candidate Donald Trump from Ukrainian officials.
According to a press release Friday, the senators cited past reports that suggested Ukrainian officials were working to benefit Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
“Contrary to the popular narrative in the ‘main stream media’ that Ukrainian involvement in the 2016 election has been debunked, or ‘no evidence exists,’ there are many unanswered questions that have festered for years. One of the reasons our nation remains so divided is the disconnect between those who are curious about any and all possible foreign interference and those who are not,” said Sen. Ron Johnson, Wisconsin Republican, who is investigating the matter.
In addition to Mr. Johnson and Mr. Grassley, Sen. Lindsey Graham has also demanded the transcribed interviews.
