Lawmakers call for Russia sanctions to stick in bipartisan push

A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a bill Wednesday pushing to control changes to sanctions for Russia after Moscow’s purported attempt to interfere with the November elections, and after multiple outlets reported that the Trump campaign held conversations with Russian officials throughout the campaign.

Headed by House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, five House members are pushing the Russia Sanctions Review Act, which would give Congress the ability to review any sanctions relief deal before it would take effect.
