The Senate Intelligence Committee will investigate possible contacts between Russia and the people associated with U.S. political campaigns as part of a broader investigation into Moscow’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
In a statement late Friday, Sens. Richard Burr. R-N.C., the committee’s chairman, and Mark Warner, D-Va., the panel’s top Democrat, said the panel “will follow the intelligence where it leads.”

The bulk of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s work will be done in secret, although the senators said they will hold open hearings when possible.

According to the committee’s statement, the inquiry will include:
— A review of the intelligence that informed the declassified report about Russia’s interference in the election.
— “Counterintelligence concerns” related to Russia and the election, “including any intelligence regarding links between Russia and individuals associated with political campaigns.”
— Russian cyber activity and other “active measures” against the United States during the election and more broadly.
