The Senate Intelligence Committee’s decision to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. is putting a spotlight on a split within the GOP conference between it and another key panel investigating the 2016 election — the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The Intelligence Committee has long been seen as the last bipartisan investigation into the 2016 election on Capitol Hill. Chairman Richard Burr(R-N.C.) and the panel’s ranking Democrat, Sen. Mark Warner (Va.), have worked closely together and generally avoided partisan fights.
News of the Trump Jr. subpoena provoked GOP criticism of Barr, with Warner coming to his defense.
