Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, and John McCain, R-Ariz, — the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee — joined calls by incoming Senate Democratic leader Charles E. Schumer, NY, and Armed Services ranking member Jack Reed, D-RI, for a thorough, bipartisan investigation of Russian influence in the US elections. Their statement came two days after The Washington Post reported the CIA's conclusion that Russia's activities were intended to tip the scales to help Trump.
