Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr said through a spokeswoman that he does not recall the conversation or passing on any information.
By Karoun Demirjian Karoun Demirjian Congressional reporter focusing on national security Email Bio Follow April 18 at 5:53 PM The Republican running the Senate Intelligence Committee’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election appears to have passed information regarding the status of the FBI's probe of Russian influence on to the White House Counsel’s Office in early 2017, according to special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report.
Burr’s conversation with former White House counsel Donald McGahn’s office appears to have taken place March 16, 2017, according to information McGahn’s chief of staff at the time, Annie Donaldson, provided to the special counsel’s investigation. According to Mueller’s report, Donaldson “could not rule out that Burr had told McGahn those individuals were the FBI’s targets,” though she and McGahn both told the special counsel’s office that the Senate Intelligence Committee was also interested in investigating these individuals.
