The Senate Intelligence Committee met with Corey Lewandowski, President Trump’s former campaign manager, as part of their ongoing investigation on Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible ties between the Trump campaign and the Russians.
Lewandowski’s meeting with the committee Wednesday lasted more than three hours, according to the Washington Post.
Lewandowski was working for the Trump campaign when Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, the president’s senior adviser and son-in-law, and Paul Manafort, who took over as campaign manager after Lewandowski left his post in June 2016, met with a Russian lawyer to potentially receive harmful information about Hillary Clinton and her campaign.
Lewandowski has maintained he did not participate in collusion during the campaign.
“I have never colluded, cooperated, or contacted any Russians that I’m aware of. Nobody contacted me that I am aware of and asked to help solicit or fix the presidential campaign,” Lewandowski told NBC in July.
The committee has already interviewed several key Trump aides, including Kushner and Manafort.
Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., and vice chairman of the committee, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., said the committee is broadening its investigation regarding Russian interference.
Several congressional panels, in conjunction with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, are conducting Russia investigations.
