American congressmen from the US Republican Party block the investigation of the relations of presidential candidate Donald Trump with Russia, is stated in the article by The Daily Beast , which is quoted by Inopressa .
"Russian hackers, apparently, are trying to intervene in our elections. However, the Republicans in the Congress hinder any investigation - while their investigations (activities. - Note Newsru.com ) Hillary Clinton continues," the article says.
As journalists explain, the efforts of the democrats trying to investigate any possible ties of Trump with Russia, mentioned in news reports and on closed briefings of intelligence services, are in vain, since their minority in both chambers of the Congress. Without the support of the Republicans, they cannot send the summons to potential witnesses and do not have enough weight to investigate Trump's activities.
The sources of The Daily Beast, among the congressmen from the Republican Party, said that Trump’s connections and his assistants with the Russian authorities and businessmen did not go unnoticed and cause concern.
The article states that "the Republicans have no desire to launch an investigation of the candidate from their party and they still believe that the FBI has failed an investigation into the activities of Clinton and its assistants, who, according to the republicans-conservals, should be punished for inadequate treatment of state secrets."
It is noted that last month, high -ranking democrats from the four committees of the House of Representatives wrote a letter to the director of the FBI with a request to investigate whether the ties between officials from the Trump’s campaign headquarters and the Russian government to “contribute” to the hacks of the Democratic Party mail. However, the director of the FBI James Komi, speaking to the Law Committee of the House of Representatives, refused to confirm or refute that the bureau accepted the requests of the Democrats, noting that the FBI policy did not allow commenting on the investigations conducted by them.
During the campaign in the United States from the Democrats camp and in the American press, statements have repeatedly sounded that the Kremlin allegedly intervenes in the elections in America and is trying to help Trump win. The Kremlin stated that Moscow never interferes with election processes in other countries.
Earlier, journalists wrote that Trump has large -scale ties with the Russian Federation. So, The Financial Times hinted at Trump's business interests in Russia, The Washington Post claimed that Trump surrounded himself with a team of advisers previously related to the Russian Federation financially. Recall that the head of his pre -election headquarters was accused of receiving cash payments from the Ukrainian pro -Russian Party of Regions.
It is worth adding that Trump was so often performed with pro -Russian statements that the former CIA head Michael Morell, analyzing Trump's rhetoric, suggested that "Putin plays in Trump's vulnerable places, and he" answers it like Putin and calculated. " “In intelligence, we would say that Putin recruited Trump as an involuntary agent of the Russian Federation,” Morell wrote.
