The top Republican on the House's Russia probe on Tuesday dismissed complaints from Democrats that he's rushing to complete the investigation without properly vetting witnesses.
"The investigation is not over. Were moving forward aggressively," said Rep. Michael Conaway of Texas, a top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee. Conaway brushed off mounting Democratic complaints that Republicans have rushed the probe, called in witnesses without proper preparation or document requests and refused to compel witnesses to answer difficult questions.
"Ive listened to their comments and listened to their questions," he said. "Sometimes I agree with them, sometimes I disagree with them. Were going to have those kind of natural disagreements among professionals."
Conaway added that he hasn't spoken yet with Sen. Richard Burr the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee about opportunities to align the findings of their parallel Russia investigations.
