Graham launches new probe into Russian election meddling

Sens. Lindsey Graham and Sheldon Whitehouse Thursday announced a bipartisan Judiciary subcommittee investigation into Russian efforts to meddle in elections, both in the U.S. and abroad.

Graham, a South Carolina Republican and vocal critic of several of President Trump’s first moves, is teaming up with Whitehouse, a liberal Democrat from Rhode Island, to launch the probe of Moscow’s efforts to influence elections. Graham and Whitehouse serve respectively as the chairman and ranking member of the Judiciary subcommittee on crime and terrorism.
