A group of 10 electors, set to cast their vote for president in one week, sent a letter demanding an intelligence briefing on any ongoing investigations linking Donald Trump's presidential campaign to Russian government interference in the election.
The letter, signed by electors including Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Christine, was set to the Director of the National Intelligence, James Clapper on Monday.
"The Electors require to know from the intelligence community whether there are ongoing investigations into ties between Donald Trump, his campaign or associates, and Russian government interference in the election, the scope of those investigations, how far those investigations may have reached, and who was involved in those investigations," the letter reads. "We further require a briefing on all investigative findings, as these matters directly impact the core factors in our deliberations of whether Mr. Trump is fit to serve as President of the United States."
The electors wrote that they will also require evidence from Trump that he and his staff did not accept Russian interference or collaborate during the campaign.
