Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, left, and Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, join other Democrats to say they want an investigation into President Donald Trump's relationship with Russia, including when Trump learned that his national security adviser, Michael Flynn, had discussed U.S. sanctions with a Russian diplomat, during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2017.
