Republicans demand answers on what the Obama administration knew about Russian election interference

Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee are demanding access to Obama administration documents that were used to brief Congress and the Trump and Clinton campaigns about Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the top Republican on the committee, and Rep. Mark Meadows of North Carolina, said they want the information as part of their ongoing effort to investigate “the federal government’s actions in advance of the 2016 election.”
