this has been described as in effect the new normal for Russian doctrine; is that correct?

The American people deserve to know, as soon as possible, that their elected representatives have taken a close look at the intelligence report.

this is not only one of the most significant items I've seen in my political life, but this is an ongoing threat to all of us and our electoral process.

I am committed to ensuring that there is a thorough, bipartisan, and expeditious Congressional investigation of Russia's role.

Our democracy is not at risk. We can rest assured in the strength of the United States of America and have continued faith in the electoral process.

I think both you and the ranking member have outlined some of the challenges: human trafficking, other issues around building strong democratic institutions in India.

This relationship between the two world's largest democracies is absolutely critical.

I rise to join my colleague who spoke earlier today, the Senator from Ohio, and here shortly, the Senator from Pennsylvania. I wish to also thank my friend, the Senator from West Virginia. Without his tireless efforts, this cause we are…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Miners Protection Act

On October 7, 2016, the Director of National Intelligence and I issued a pretty blunt statement saying that the Russian government was interfering in our political process, directed by the highest levels of the Russian government.

yesterday I voted to override the President's veto of S. 2040, the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, or JASTA. I chose to support the motion to override after hearing from supporters of this bill, including the families of the…
