FBI Director James Comey is meeting with the top members of the Senate Judiciary Committee amid demands that the bureau say if it is investigating any ties between Moscow and the Trump campaign.

"I've been told that I'll have a briefing this afternoon," Grassley told reporters when asked about reports that Comey was expected to clarify any investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia by Wednesday.

Grassley added that he hadn't heard about the Wednesday deadline.

Asked if she was getting a briefing with Grassley on Russia later Wednesday, Feinstein — the committee's top Democrat — told reporters "yeah, we're supposed to get a briefing."

A spokeswoman for Grassley confirmed that the two senators will be briefed by Comey.

The closed-door meeting comes less than a day after Grassley said he was blocking Rod Rosenstein's nomination to serve in the No. 2 role at the Department of Justice until he is briefed on Russia.
