U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) sent a letter to Veterans Affairs Secretary and former chief of staff to President Obama, Denis McDonough, to press him on his involvement in the Russian collusion hoax.

The letter follows up on Senator Blackburn’s questioning in a May 17th Veterans Affairs Committee hearing, in which Secretary McDonough “forgot” his role in the FBI Crossfire Hurricane investigation that targeted the Trump campaign.
