The Senate Intelligence Committee has added another party to its investigation of the Trump administration\u2019s collusion with Russia during the 2016 election: Green Party candidate Jill Stein.<\/p>\n
The Washington Post<\/em> reports<\/a>: \u201cSen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) told reporters Monday that the Senate Intelligence Committee has \u201ctwo other campaigns that we\u2019re just starting on,\u201d in addition to the panel\u2019s ongoing probe of alleged ties between the Trump administration and Kremlin officials. One of those he identified as Stein\u2019s; Burr has indicated previously that the committee is also looking into reports that the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign paid for research that went into a dossier detailing allegations of Donald Trump\u2019s 2013 exploits in Moscow.\u201d<\/p>\n Stein released a statement on Monday:\u00a0\u201cOur communications with Russian individuals regarding an invitation to speak on international relations at the RT 10th anniversary media conference will confirm what we stated publicly at that time and since: that we did not accept any payment or even reimbursement for the trip.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Buzzfeed News adds<\/a>:<\/p>\n Dennis Trainor Jr., who worked for the Stein campaign from January to August of 2015, says Stein contacted him on Friday saying the Senate Intelligence Committee had requested that the campaign comply with a document search.<\/p>\n Trainor, who served as the campaign\u2019s communications director and acting manager during that time, told BuzzFeed News that he was informed of the committee\u2019s request because during his time on the campaign, his personal cell phone was \u201ca primary point of contact\u201d for those looking to reach Stein or the campaign. That included producers from RT News, the Russian state-funded media company that booked Stein for several appearances, Trainor said.<\/p>\n \u201cThen I was told by Jill just to wait for further instructions,\u201d Trainor said, adding that he was told the campaign would contact him in the next week with details, presumably from the Senate Intelligence Committee, of how to execute the document search, including precise search terms. That has not happened yet, Trainor said.<\/p>\n The post Jill Stein Under Investigation for \u2018Collusion with the Russians\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n
