Intel Dems push for info on Russia and election be declassified

Seven senators on the Intelligence Committee sent a letter this week asking President Obama to declassify “specific” information regarding Russia’s role in the recent election.

The one-paragraph letter was spearheaded by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and signed by Democratic Sens. Martin Heinrich (N.M.), Mazie Hirono (Hawaii), Barbara Mikulski (Md.), Mark Warner (Va.), Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) and ex-officio member Sen. Jack Reed (R.I.).

The letter gives no further information about what the senators wished to see declassified.
