House Intel to interview Wasserman Schultz, Goldstone: report
The House Intelligence Committee is set to interview Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) and British publicist Rob Goldstone on Monday as part of its ongoing probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, CNN reported.
Wasserman Schultz resigned as head of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) last July after leaked emails showed party officials appeared to favor Hillary Clinton over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
Wasserman Schultz has also denied knowing about an arrangement for the DNC to help fund a dossier containing salacious allegations about President Trump. Clinton’s campaign and the DNC reportedly paid millions to a law firm involved in the compilation of the dossier.
Goldstone was expected to speak with the committee after he said he wanted to “explain what happened.”
The publicist became a central figure in the Russia probe after it was revealed that he had helped set up a meeting in 2016 between Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer who had promised damaging material on Clinton.
