Jill Stein ended months of silence and speculation about her role in the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, announcing this week that she would not be complying with a documents request put forth by the Senate intelligence committee.
The announcement, first reported by The Intercept, adds to the litany of questions about Steins role in Russias broader interference campaigns a role that suddenly faces new relevance, given the rolling indictments from the office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
In a letter posted this week and written last month, lawyer Mara Verheyden-Hilliard wrote to Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) and Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) on behalf of Stein, slamming their documents request as overbroad and, in certain instances, not pertinent to the investigation as defined by the Committee itself.
On her website, Stein added that the requests intrudes into First Amendment rights.
