GOP still divided on Russia probe after briefing

After a “detailed” and “forthright” intelligence briefing on Thursday, top Senate Republicans remained divided on whether to form a special committee to investigate Russian hacking that led to leaks of Democratic emails during the election.

Democrats, however, said the briefing demonstrated the need for additional information about what the FBI knew about Russian hacking into the Democratic emails, and why it chose to keep quiet about that information until after Trump’s victory.
