The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee held an eight-minute phone conversation last year with Russian radio hosts posing as a Ukrainian politician who promised to provide compromising images of President Trump. The conversation involving Rep. Adam Schiff, which took place on April 10 of last year, was first reported by The Atlantic last month. "She got compromising materials on Trump after their short relations," the caller told Schiff. The Atlantic reported that when Kuznetsov and Stolyarov called McConnell, he told them that new sanctions against Russia were unlikely. "This would never happen in Russia," Stolyarov told the magazine of the prank calls.
