House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other Democrats are insisting that the FBI investigate alleged links between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin to find out whether Russia has leverage over the incoming president. (Alex Wong/Getty Images)House Democrats emerged from a briefing about Russian interference in the 2016 election demanding that the FBI investigate what links may have existed between the Kremlin and President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign. But lawmakers would not — or could not — say whether the FBI was already launching such an investigation. “You know I can’t talk about what happened in the meeting,” Pelosi told reporters asking whether the FBI was investigating links between Russia and Trump. They also endorsed the sourcing behind the intelligence community’s findings that Russia engaged in election-related hacks to help Trump’s chances of winning.
