The ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Mark Warner, said on Tuesday that former acting Attorney General Sally Yates "is an individual we're going to want to talk to" as part of the committee's investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election.
"You may have heard that it appears either the White House or the Justice Department was trying to preclude Sally Yates from testifying," Warner told reporters in a gaggle inside the Capitol, referring to a Washington Post report saying the White House tried to prevent Yates from testifying before the House Intelligence Committee this week.
"Clearly she is an individual that we’re going to want to talk to as well," Warner said. When asked if the committee had asked Yates to testify, Warner said he was "not going through the specific names, but it was obviously my intent that Sally Yates would be one of the people."
Yates, who was appointed Deputy Attorney General by President Obama and served as the acting Attorney General from January 20 to 30, was scheduled to appear before the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday, along with former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan. The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes, scrapped the hearing late last week.
