Nominated for CIA chief questioned about Russian intervention

Named for CIA chief by US President Chris Wray will face new questions about Russia's intervention in the US elections at his confirmation hearing Wednesday, as a political storm is involved about President Trump's eldest son.

Eray is set to appear before the Senate's judiciary committee, one of four congressional commissions seeking evidence concerning Russian intervention in the election, following Trump's son Donald Jr Trump's meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

A lawyer appointed by the Justice Department is also investigating Russia's intervention in last year's elections, writes CNN, broadcasts Periscopi.
