SCHUMER: Report's of Russia's interference in the election should shake us to the core
Akin Oyedele Business Insider December 10, 2016

"That any country could be meddling in our elections should shake both political parties to their core," Schumer said. "Senate Democrats will join with our Republican colleagues next year to demand a congressional investigation and hearings to get to the bottom of this."

Schumer said it is "imperative" for the intelligence community to hand over any information that Congress would find useful to its investigation.

The CIA told senators in private meetings last week that their evidence demonstrated it was "quite clear" Russia aimed to help Trump win.
