Incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., sided with the Obama administration on Saturday and called on his colleagues to investigate reports of Russian interference in last month’s presidential election when the 115th Congress convenes in January.

Less than 24 hours after the White House announced that it had requested a “full review” of Russia’s cyber activity in the 2008 and 2016 elections from the intelligence community, Schumer suggested a separate congressional investigation should occur.
