A group of Senate Democrats on Thursday urged the Trump administration to impose sanctions on Russia for recent efforts by Russians to interfere in the upcoming U.S. elections.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), along with 10 other senators, sent a letter (pdf) to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin calling on him to impose sanctions on individuals linked to the Kremlin.
