A former Ukrainian diplomat who alleges Kyiv meddled in the U.S. 2016 elections is set to begin sharing documents with three Senate committees, he told The Daily Beast. The Intelligence Community and FBI Director Christopher Wray have pushed back against Andrii Telizhenko’s accusations of Ukrainian interference
A former Ukrainian diplomat who alleges Kyiv meddled in the U.S. 2016 elections is set to begin sharing documents with three Senate committees, he told The Daily Beast.
The Intelligence Community told Senators earlier this fall that Russian security services were pushing the allegations about Ukrainian meddling in 2016, according to The New York Times. For many members of Congress, that put the issue to bed; giving any legitimacy to Telizhenko’s allegations was akin to amplifying a Kremlin disinformation campaign.
It’s not unusual for federal agencies to miss congressional deadlines. And when they do, it creates a dilemma for Hill investigators: They can send additional, more firmly worded letters; they can issue subpoenas; or they can give up. And while stand-offs between the executive and legislative branches often get testiest when the two are controlled by different parties, there can still be plenty of intra-party drama.
