Senate Intelligence Select Committee on Intelligence Ranking Member Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) and Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) speak to members of the press during a closed door meeting between Inspector General of the Intelligence Community Michael Atkinson and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on Capitol Hill on September 26, 2019 in Washington, DC.
