WATCH: GOP lawmaker says Congress should investigate all ties to Russia

House Intelligence Committee member Pete King (R-N.Y.) said Congress should investigate all U.S. ties to Russia, including any connections to former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

“We should obviously include anything involving Russia’s dealing with the United States,” King told The Hill’s Molly K. Hooper when asked if Congress should specifically investigate Flynn’s conversations about sanctions with the Russian ambassador.

Though he would not speak for Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) — who reportedly nixed the idea of opening a new investigation into Flynn — King noted the Intelligence Committee “has been investigating Russian involvement going back a year.”
