Ranking Democrat raises alarm House committee will end Russia investigation

The ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee says that he is worried Republicans are planning to dissolve the committee's Russia probe at the end of the year, blasting Republicans for failing to issue subpoenas or schedule witness interviews in the new year.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) tweeted Friday that he believes Republicans in House leadership are planning to shut down the investigation after holding just enough interviews to give the illusion of a full investigation.

"I’m increasingly worried Republicans will shut down the House Intelligence Committee investigation at the end of the month," Schiff tweeted. "Republicans have scheduled no witnesses after next Friday and none in 2017 [sic]. We have dozens of outstanding witnesses on key aspects of our investigation that they refuse to contact and many document requests they continue to sit on."
