Richard Burr is facing – and ignoring – pressure from Republicans to drop Donald Trump Jr.’s subpoena and wrap up the Senate Intelligence Committee’s Russia investigation
Richard Burr faces intense pressure from Republicans to drop his subpoena of President Donald Trump’s eldest son and quickly wrap up the Senate Intelligence Committee’s Russia probe.
Some of Burr’s GOP colleagues, however, were eager to offer complaints that the Intelligence Committee is still working its probe weeks after special counsel Robert Mueller’s report was released. Some Intelligence Committee members said the panel would need to address the controversial subpoena, which was issued by Burr and the Democratic vice chairman of the committee, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia. The subpoena was sent days ago, but news of it leaked just one day after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared the Mueller investigation “case closed.”
Trump name-checked Burr on Thursday, expressing his disapproval with the subpoena and arguing his son had been “totally exonerated” by Mueller. And though many Trump-aligned Republicans are criticizing the committee — and in some cases Burr himself — it’s not a unanimous view.
