Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr on Tuesday threatened to subpoena Trump campaign aides if they ignore deadlines to turn over records to his panel, explaining that he had received just two responses to an initial request for information.
“I think all options are on the table, and I think you can envision what those options are,” the North Carolina Republican told reporters. “The most severe would be subpoena.”
The Intelligence panel’s top Democrat, Mark Warner of Virginia, said it appeared that just one person was complying with Tuesday’s initial deadline to provide the committee with records of any meetings they had with Russian officials ahead of the presidential election. Neither Warner nor Burr would name the individual who is complying.
The other individual who has responded to the committee, former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page, suggested in a letter last week he would not provide the requested records — leading to an angry joint statement from Warner and Burr.

In a statement, Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) who is chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he is “troubled by the timing and reasoning of Director Comey’s termination”.
Burr added that Comey’s firing by President Donald Trump “further confuses an already difficult investigation by the Committee,” referring to the Senate intel committee’s probe into alleged collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russian operatives to alter the outcome of the 2016 elections.
