Republican and Democratic heads of the Senate Intelligence Committee rejected a request from two GOP Senate leaders requesting access to the committee’s records in their probe into the probe about how investigators handled Russia and President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.

The acting chairman, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and the vice-chairman, Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), rejected a letter that was sent by Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) requesting records.
