'Senators fume after sanctioned Russians tour Capitol Hill: 'They came for one purpose!'
'A bipartisan duo of senators fired off a furious letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as well as Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, demanding to know how a delegation of Russian lawmakers was allowed to visit Capitol Hill and tour it with members of Congress.
The letter, sent by Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Roger Wicker (R-MS), flagged the serious national security concerns at stake, noting that all the visitors from the Russian Duma who held meetings with members of Congress and the executive branch, are subject to U.S. sanctions....
They concluded by asking a series of questions of Rubio and Bessent, including "What is the justification for waiving sanctions on these individuals?" and "Was a counterintelligence assessment conducted for all individuals traveling to the U.S.?"

And I've read visitors are on sanction list, so someone had to sign a waiver

No democrats, no oversight is a possibility. It could be a good thing.
