"One year ago, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) initiated its
investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election and pledged to follow the facts
wherever they would lead. With yesterday’s announcement that the Majority will be prematurely
shutting down the Russia investigation and issuing a report at odds with the consensus of the
Intelligence Community and the overwhelming evidence produced during our own probe, they
have broken that commitment.
The decision to shut down the investigation before key witnesses could be interviewed and vital
documentary evidence obtained will prevent us from fully discharging our duty to the House and
to the American people. But the Committee Minority will be issuing an interim report that lays
out the facts that we know to date and identifies what significant investigative steps remain,
especially with respect to the issues of collusion and obstruction of justice. In this document, we
will set out the investigative threads that we have been pursuing—and in some cases, been
prevented from pursuing—and will need to be completed at a later date to ensure not only that the
public is fully informed, but also to determine whether the Russians have leverage over the
President of the United States.
Below is a partial list of key witnesses that the Committee has yet to contact or interview, as well
as document production requests that the Committee has yet to make from persons and entities of
relevance to the investigation. As noted in the appendices below, many of these persons and
entities were previously requested by the Minority—some as early as August 2017 and many
repeatedly—but have yet to be contacted by, appear before, or produce documents to the
Committee..."
