House Intel panel interviews Rice in Russia probe

Former national security adviser Susan Rice was interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee behind closed doors for just over four hours on Wednesday morning as part of that panel’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Lawmakers emerged tight-lipped from Wednesday’s interview. Rep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas), who is now leading the investigation, said that Rice answered lawmakers’ questions but would provide no other details. The panel’s top Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), similarly declined to comment on the meeting.
Rice has been at the center of the controversy over “unmasking,” a process by which officials can request to know the cloaked identity of an American caught up in U.S. surveillance.
