The Senate Intelligence Committee has asked Dr. Jill Stein, the 2016 Green Party presidential candidate, for documents as part of its probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election. Committee Chair Richard Burr of North Carolina said on Monday that they are looking for potential "collusion with the Russians." Among the actions that reportedly drew their attention was Stein's attendance at a 2015 dinner in Moscow sponsored by Russian state-run TV network RT, where she sat at the same table as Russian President Vladimir Putin. Also at that table was Michael Flynn, who went on to become President Trump's national security adviser and has since entered into a plea agreement with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian election interference. Flynn pleaded guilty to a single felony count of lying to the FBI about his conversations with Russia's U.S. ambassador. We speak with Dr. Jill Stein, the 2016 presidential nominee for the Green Party.
