Senate Intelligence Committee leaders are urging the White House to turn documents related to their Russia investigation directly over to the panel, seemingly declining an invitation to examine intelligence reports at the White House.

A spokesperson for the Senate committee said the Trump administration should instruct the agencies who have the relevant documents to provide them directly to its members, which would cut out the White House as an intermediary.

"In response to the White House letter, the Committee has asked the White House to direct the agencies that own the intelligence documents in question to immediately provide them directly to the Committee," a committee spokesperson said in a statement.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer said both the leaders of the House and Senate Intelligence committees received the invitation to review the documents in question.

1. I dont see the Whitehouse doing that otherwise it makes it easier for any lies to be found out

if the documents are able to be examined in detail by professionals not to mention it raises the legal jeopardy for Trump and those in his administration if they provide documents that have been falsified.

2. Strange title - in that it could be read that the panel told the WH to send information to Russia!

I read it that way before reading the first paragraph.

3. How about

the WH can walk down to the Senate and testify? It's called "Checks and ballances" Li'l Donnie. Get used to it.

6. I am glad they said this.

I was disappointed yesterday when Schiff took up the offer to go to the White House to examine documents. He is a Representative, though, not a Senator. Up until then, I thought he was doing quite well for us and the country.

I think the House committee has been too compromised already. I still have a shred of hope that the Senate committee might remain uncompromised.
