To date, we have made 20 requests for individuals to be interviewed by the committee, as we stand here today, five are already scheduled on the books, and probably within the next 10 days the remaining 15 will have a scheduled date for those individuals to be interviewed by our staff. We anticipate inviting additional individuals to come and be interviewed, and ultimately some of those interviewed individuals may turn into private or public hearings by the committee, but yet to be determined.

In 2016, Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden was unprepared at all levels of government for a concerted attack from a determined foreign adversary on Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden, it is my hope that the Senate Intelligence Committee's bipartisan report will provide the American people with valuable insight into the election security threats still facing our nation and the ways we can address them.

I hope after this bipartisan report comes out and joins the FBI, the Director of National Intelligence, Special Prosecutor Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden, that folks will reconsider and we can take the appropriate steps necessary to make sure that when Americans go to vote for whomever in 2020 for president that their votes will be counted fairly.

I don't think so, senate Intelligence Committee didn't do an investigation. Senate Intelligence Committee doesn't surprise me they're interested in looking at somebody else's work product.

I had a conversation with Don McGahn about trying to make White House personnel available for interview that might have had contact with Russians, it's very possible that I answered a question about our investigation when I listed those four individuals because they were public entities then, with one exception — I thought George Papadopoulos was ; George Papadopoulos was not public at that time. ( Virginia Democratic Sen.) Mark Warner had been out talking about Mike Flynn in February, The New York Times wrote an article with all three names in February, and Carter Page self-named Virginia Democratic Sen. as receiving a letter from us on March 6... and my conversation happened after that.

At the appropriate time we will be briefed for the simple reason that the Mueller investigation would be briefed to the Gang of Eight, and I would think the Gang of Eight would receive some type of briefing.

If we write a report based upon the facts that we have, then we dont have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia.

Im sure there will be some questions we know the answers to, so well test him to see whether in fact hell be truthful this time.

Whether Russian authorities sought to meddle in the 2016 election to help Trump prevail has been a key point of contention between House and Senate intelligence committees.

The Russian effort was extensive, sophisticated and ordered by President Putin himself for the purpose of helping Donald Trump and hurting Hillary Clinton, top Senate committee Democrat Mark Warner said in a joint statement at the time. On Tuesday, Warner said the committee's review had confirmed those findings.

Not that I know of right now.

She has earned the respect of the agency workforce, of her peers, of Republicans, of Democrats, of military officers, of civilian security leaders, evidenced by the number of letters received in support of her nomination too numerous to read.

This gives staff the month of August in all likelihood to wrap up our investigation and for staff to work intensely while we’re out of here and not getting in their hair.

I'd like to set the record straight and make clear to those in attendance, and the American people, that this hearing is not about programs already addressed by executive order, legislation and the court of law.

Those who have issued with programs or operations conducted years ago should address those concerns and questions to former presidents, former directors and former attorneys general.
