Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) has a well-documented track record of promoting pro-Russia positions in Congress, especially as head of the Foreign Affairs subcommittee overseeing Russia policy.
However, in light of the multiple ongoing investigations into 2016 election interference, The New York Times notes Rohrabacher's no longer flying under the radar:
The F.B.I. and the Senate Intelligence Committee are each seeking to interview him about an August meeting with Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, Mr. Rohrabacher said. The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, is said to be interested in a meeting he had last year with Michael T. Flynn, Mr. Trump’s short-lived national security adviser.
At the same time, fellow Republicans — questioning his judgment and intentions — have moved to curtail his power as chairman of the Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia and Emerging Threats. And back home in Southern California, where Democrats and Republicans alike smell blood, the 15-term congressman is facing his toughest re-election contest in decades, with well-funded candidates from both parties lining up to unseat him.
