A New Russian “Re-set?”
There is a lot that remains unknown about Russia’s involvement in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections.
Source: KCRW’s To the Point
Carnegie’s Andrew Weiss spoke with Warren Olney about Russia’s involvement in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, as well as President-elect Donald Trump’s recent cabinet nominations. Weiss suggested that the U.S. Congress should lead a deep investigation, beyond oversight powers, to determine Russia’s scope and intentions, which seem to reach beyond the presidential-level election. With regard to cabinet nominations, Weiss mentioned that historically, presidents have been entitled to pick his or her advisors unless there are serious disqualifications.
