Is there any truth to the rumors they are about to start?

Is there any truth to the rumors they are about to start?

Here is what I have heard --

WASHINGTON—Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr said
his panel would expand the scope of its investigation into Russian
election meddling to include looking at potential links between Moscow
and individuals associated with President-elect Donald Trump’s
presidential campaign.

Burr’s new position, detailed in a statement issued with Sen. Mark Warner (D., Va.), effectively reverses
Burr’s position on Thursday, when he shot down the idea of looking into
potential ties between Russia and advisers to the campaign of Trump. The
North Carolina Republican had said the matter wasn’t in the
jurisdiction of his committee’s probe of Russian hacking, and that a
special commission wasn’t needed either because a dossier describing an
extensive conspiracy by Russian government operatives with Trump’s
campaign hadn’t been substantiated.

“The Committee will follow the intelligence wherever it leads,” the senators said in a statement
that said the scope of the inquiry would include—but not be limited
to—“counterintelligence concerns related to Russia and the 2016 U.S.
election, including any intelligence regarding links between Russia and
individuals associated with political campaigns.”

Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) said late Friday
that his committee will investigate possible contacts between Donald
Trump’s campaign and Russia, reversing himself one day after telling
reporters that the issue would be outside of his panel’s ongoing probe
into Moscow’s election-disruption efforts.

Burr and the intelligence panel’s top Democrat, Virginia Sen. Mark
Warner, said in a joint statement that the committee's probe would touch
on "intelligence regarding links between Russia and individuals
associated with political campaigns" as well as Russian cyberattacks and
other election meddling outlined in an intelligence report released
last week.

The committee will use “subpoenas if necessary” to secure testimony
from Obama administration officials as well as Trump’s team, Burr and
Warner said.
