The Senate Intelligence Committee's GOP chairman is "on notice" after helping the White House challenge news stories critical of President Donald Trump's Russia ties, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Monday.

Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters he was "very disappointed" in Sen. Richard Burr's (R-N.C.) acknowledgment that he called reporters to knock down allegations about multiple contacts between Trump emissaries and Russia. Burr's conduct "certainly gives the appearance, if not the reality, of a lack of impartiality" in his committee's bipartisan probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, Schumer added.

Nah. This is Schumer we're talking about.

He'll go from "On Notice," to the dreaded "I'm Troubled."
