Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) says the FBI and Senate Intelligence Committee are seeking to interview him about his August meeting with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
Rohrabacher met with Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London to discuss the 2016 hacking of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which Assange believes was an “inside job.”
American intelligence authorities, however, believe that Assange acted on behalf of Russian operatives to release the hacked Democratic emails.
The GOP congressman had said that “other parties” were hoping to connect him with President Trump to discuss the DNC hack and provide information from Assange.
