Larson Renews Call for Independent Investigation into Russia

Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. John B. Larson(CT-01) released the following statement after it was revealed that Rep. Devin Nunes (CA-22), the Republican Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee shared information with the White House, before sharing it with the Committee:

"This new revelation further exemplifies the need for an independent, non-partisan investigation on Russia and Russian interference in the U.S. elections and of their ties to the Trump Administration and to the Trump campaign," said Larson. "We need a 9/11 style independent commission, with people like Colin Powell, Sandra Day O'Connor, George Mitchell and Bill Bradley heading it up. Rep. Nunes' decision to share this information with the White House and not the House Intelligence Committee is unprecedented and concerning."
