Politico: “Two top Republican senators denied on Wednesday that they are pushing Russian disinformation, responding directly to charges from Democratic congressional leaders who have demanded additional public disclosures about the Kremlin’s interference in the 2020 presidential election.”
“Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who are spearheading investigations targeting presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son Hunter, maintained that they have ‘neither sought out, relied upon, nor publicly released anything that could even remotely be considered disinformation.’ ‘It is certainly our goal to eradicate foreign influence from our elections,’ Johnson and Grassley wrote in a letter responding to the Democrats. ‘But your use of this issue to knowingly and recklessly promote false narratives for political purposes is completely contrary to that goal.'”
