Washington Representative Pramila Jayapal says at a news conference with House Judiciary Committee Democrats that the Trump administration had failed to investigate Russian involvement in the 2016 elections and President Donald trump that actually before the idea that perhaps Russia was not involved in the elections, undeniable meddling confirmed by the CIA, FBI, and the NSA in a report concluding Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered and influence campaigns. Jayapal says Attorney General Jeff Sessions testified before Senate and House Judiciary committees that a review had been ordered but no steps taken, that Democrats do not know what Judiciary Committee Chairman or House Speaker Paul Ryan were waiting for in addressing the serious threat and their failure to act against Russian interference and influence was simply unacceptable.
