Top House Intel Dem pledges to move forward with Russia investigation

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) pledged on Thursday that Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee would continue to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 election, after the panel's Republican members abruptly wrapped up the probe this week.
Schiff said in an interview on CNN's "New Day" that it special counsel Robert Mueller, who is conducting the law enforcement investigation into Russian meddling, is not responsible for publicly explaining Moscow's election interference. That duty, Schiff said, falls on Congress.
"We can't simply rely on Bob Mueller, because his job is different than ours," Schiff, the committee's top Democrat, said. "His job is to determine who broke the law and who should be prosecuted and who should go to jail."
