Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has sent two new letters to Trump associates asking for interviews and information related to the Russia investigation:
- Letter to Dan Scavino asks for an interview and documents related to the firing of James Comey and Michael Flynn, hacked emails by Russia and Russian efforts to target voters through social media. It also asks for communications about the June 9 meeting at Trump Tower between the Trump campaign and a Russian lawyer.
- Letter to Brad Parscale asks for an interview and documents related to hacked emails by Russia and Russian efforts to target voters through social media.
Scavino was the social media director for Trump’s 2016 campaign. When Trump took office, Scavino became assistant to the president and director of social media. In addition to an interview, Feinstein asked Scavino for documents related to former FBI Director James Comey; former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn; the special counsel Russia investigation; the June 2016 meeting between campaign officials and a Kremlin-connected lawyer; Russia; Ukraine; WikiLeaks; and efforts to obtain or share emails belonging to Hillary Clinton or her associates.

Feinstein’s other request went to Parscale, who helps run the Texas-based design and marketing agency Giles-Parscale and was the digital director for the Trump campaign. Feinstein asked him for an interview and to provide communications related to Russian officials; “hacked” emails from Clinton or her associates; WikiLeaks; Russia; and other topics.
Feinstein, who has been sending out letters since the end of November, continues to move her committee's investigative work forward, copying Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) but not waiting for him to co-sign her requests.
