Senate Asks Federal Agencies to Preserve Records on Russia

The bipartisan leadership of the Senate Intelligence Committee is requesting federal agencies preserve all records relevant to the committee's investigation into Russia's impact on the 2016 presidential election, a Senate aide confirmed to NBC News.

Republican Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina and Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia sent the letters Friday as questions continue to surface about whether members of then-candidate Donald Trump's inner circle had contact with Moscow during the campaign. The letter itself and a list of recipients has not been released.
