Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, on Sunday said President Donald Trumps administration has clearly not been forthcoming on what they know and when they knew it with regard to Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Clearly, this administration has not been forthcoming on what they know and when they knew it with regard to Russian interference in the elections, Warner said on CBS Face the Nation. He cited Attorney General Jeff Sessions and former national security adviser Michael Flynns denials (later retracted) that they met with Russian officials.
What weve seen is a constant effort to hide contacts with Russians. Weve seen this pattern repeat itself, Warner said.
Warner cited Donald Trump Jr.s publication of his emails arranging a meeting with a Russian lawyer after he was promised damaging information on Hillary Clinton as part of an effort by the Russian government to aid his fathers campaign.

Instead of saying, "Russia's meddling in the election" they need to say, "Russia's attack on our democracy".
Frustrating.
