FBI director briefs Senate leadership

FBI Director James Comey huddled with Senate leadership during a classified, closed-door briefing on Thursday afternoon.
The FBI director met with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Richard Burr (R-N.C.) — collectively known as the Senate's "Big Four" on intelligence issues.
Comey is expected to meet with their House counterparts later Thursday.
The closed-door powwow comes as the Senate Intelligence Committee is spearheading an investigation into Russia's meddling in the presidential race, including any potential contact between the Trump campaign and Moscow.
