Democrats to drill down on Trump obstruction in Comey hearing

Democratic Senate Intelligence Committee members, including Sen. Kamala Harris of California, left, and Vice Chair Mark Warner of Virginia, center, will question former FBI Director Jim Comey Thursday in Washington. WASHINGTON — On Thursday morning, Senate Democrats have what could be their only chance to publicly question former FBI Director James Comey about whether President Donald Trump attempted to interfere in the bureau’s investigation of Russian meddling in the U.S. elections. Special counsel Robert Mueller has taken over the investigation into members of the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Russia, a probe that could take years and might never end up implicating the president.
