Schiff lays out Intel panel's Russia probe parameters
The head of the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday released the panel's investigative parameters for conducting its Russia probe, which will serve as a roadmap as Democrats dig into Moscow's involvement in the 2016 presidential election.
"The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence ('Committee') will conduct a rigorous investigation into efforts by Russia and other foreign entities to influence the U.S. political process during and since the 2016 U.S. election," Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said in a statement.
"In addition, the Committee will investigate the counterintelligence threat arising from any links or coordination between U.S. persons and the Russian government and/or other foreign entities, including any financial or other leverage such foreign actors may possess," he continued.
Schiff, who is now empowered with the authority of a committee gavel, said the committee is going to start the probe by focusing on five key areas.
