Mark Warner

Yes, absolutely. I think the staff did a great job.

I can't square that mindset because we've had every one of the Trump senior intelligence officials come in and acknowledge on a repeated basis how serious this threat is.

I find it beyond hypocritical some of the comments made by some of the president's allies.

I believe, is a very serious national security threat.

Well, it's very troubling to me and because we have complete consensus that the Russians massively intervened in our election to try to help Mr. Trump and hurt Hillary Clinton.

The assembled leadership of the intelligence committee, do you believe the 2017 intelligence community assessment accurately characterized the extent of Russian activities in the 2016 election and its conclusion that Russia intelligence…

Mark Warner, he told our Manu Raju that he wants Trump Jr. to come back to the panel to answer questions from senators.

I think special prosecutor Mueller is a consummate professional, that's why he was chosen. That's why I think he has broad bipartisan support. And I think he realizes, you know, that as long as this cloud hangs over the Trump…

We've still got a lot of questions that remain unanswered and my hope is at the end of the day, whether it's the Mueller investigation or our committee's investigation, end of the day, the Americans deserve the truth.

It's fairly unprecedented that you have a national security adviser have to get fired I think 24 days into the job for failing to disclose his contacts with Russians.

The special prosecutor has a different standard, they've got a criminality standard. He has different tools than we have and our committee -- our committee is to try to find out whether there was collusion and make clear to the American…

Well, remember, General Flynn was fired as national security advisor for not being forthcoming on his contacts with Russians.

They wanted me to finish my job in terms of this investigation and get the truth out about Russia, but, two, they were very concerned about the kind of divisiveness that the president seems to tweet out on a regular basis.

I saw a part (INAUDIBLE) valley, very heavily Republican area where Democratic candidates did better than they've done in decades.

I think there was a real pushback against the kind of policies that were -- have been advocated, the divisive policies advocated by the president that the Republican candidates embraced in whole.

Virginia was a great victory. Not only did we win the governor's race, a clean sweep of all of our statewide elected officials, but we also picked up 16 seats in our 100-member House of Delegates.

There is no exception to the disclosure as it relates to foreign money used to influence U.S. elections.

We announced last week a series of ad transparency steps, drawing on the ideas in the Honest Ads Act that Senator Warner talked about earlier.

Let me just close with this.

I find very interesting, there have been some people who have said, 'Well, people should be able spot these fake accounts.'

So now we're seeing the Russian activities roughly at 150 million-plus Americans, without knowing how many times they were re-shared.

I find your answer very, very disappointing.

Yes, we are looking and have looked at every possible indication of Russian activity in the 2016 election, and the investigation continues.

Will you commit to continue to work with this Committee to provide additional information and additional documents as needed?

Candidly, your companies know more about Americans in many ways than the United States government does.
