A nation must think before it acts.
Research Director Chris Miller Quoted in The Hill on Russia and Facebook
A new wrinkle emerged in the congressional investigations into Russian election interference this week as Facebook found evidence that it had sold political ads to fake Russian accounts in the lead up to the 2016 vote.
It’s the latest big development in the months-long congressional probes into Moscow’s efforts, with investigators already looking into contacts between Trump associates and Russia, the extent to which Moscow targeted state election systems and the circumstances surrounding the firing of FBI Director James Comey.
The Senate and House Intelligence Committees, as well as the Senate Judiciary Committee, are all pursuing parallel probes. Meanwhile, special counsel Robert Mueller is spearheading the federal investigation, which includes examining possible collusion between Trump associates and Moscow.
