Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn on Thursday objected to a bipartisan resolution that affirms Russian responsibility for the 2016 election interference and demands the notes from President Trump’s one-on-one conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“The way to do our work is through bipartisan committee work, have the witnesses come and testify, ask them hard questions, and render our judgment,” Cornyn, a Texas Republican, said on the floor. “I think we should consider sanctions, not sort of Sense of the Senate resolution that … [has] no deterrent effect.”
