The creation of a 9/11-style commission to investigate Russian interference in the presidential election has won bi-partisan support, according to a senior Democratic lawmaker.
In an interview with MSNBC's Chris Hayes, Rep. Elijah Cummings said that such a committee was necessary "to really get to how all of this happened, what was the relationship between the Trump campaign and the Russians, and try to figure out how to make sure this does not happen again."
Sen. Ben Cardin, the leading Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has previously called for an independent commission into election meddling.
Last month, Cardin and four colleagues introduced legislation to create such a body.
"The American people deserve a non-partisan, transparent, public investigation into this insidious attack on our democratic institutions," Cardin said in a statement at the time.
Cummings, the ranking member on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, added that his bill to create a commission to investigate Russian hacking had secured a Republican co-sponsor.
