Sources told McClatchy that Senate Democrats also want to find out information she may have regarding the NRA's possible ties to Russia.

Mitchell denied she had raised concerns about the NRA's connections to Russia, telling McClatchy in an email it was a "complete fabrication."

“I have no knowledge of anything like this and zero concerns whatsoever about anyone — Russians or otherwise — who ‘funneled’ funds to / through NRA,” she told McClatchy.

She said the organization “is meticulous about following all the rules."

“Much work remains to be done concerning that thread of our investigation, including conducting witness interviews and receiving relevant documents from several organizations and individuals.”

Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee earlier this week concluded their investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 election and possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Schiff on Thursday pledged that Democrats would continue to investigate Russia's election interference, even after the panel's Republican members abruptly wrapped up the probe.
