Watch Live: Senate Holds First Open Hearing On Russian Election Interference
Today the Senate Intelligence Committee is holding its first open hearing in its investigation into Russian interference in the election. The two-part panel, held at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., will first question academics on Russian influence operations, then turn to a cybersecurity company that confirmed the original hack of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) last summer.
As The Hill notes, committee leaders have sought to distance themselves from the partisan furor in the House Intelligence Committee’s concurrent investigation, publicly vowing cooperation and bipartisanship. Chair and ranking member Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.) gave a joint press conference to that effect Thursday, and rank-and-file members made the rounds on the morning shows Thursday to tout the same message: “We’ve got this. “
On the witness docket for today’s first hearing are:
Eugene Rumer
Director of Russia and Eurasia Program
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
Roy Godson
Professor of Government Emeritus
Georgetown University
Clint Watts
Senior Fellow
Foreign Policy Research Institute Program on National Security
