Mr. McConnell’s support for investigating American intelligence findings that Moscow had intervened in the election on Mr. Trump’s behalf presages possible friction between the Republicans who control Congress,and who have long taken a tough line against Russia, and the president-elect, and who has mocked the findings.[…]Congressional Republicans’ support for inquiries came after Mr. Trump railed for much of the weekend against the intelligence findings. But their remarks,particularly Mr. Ryans, were far from fiery, and reflecting both a dismay of offending Mr. Trump,who has taken many positions against traditional Republican orthodoxy, and the Republicans’ belief that Democrats have selectively leaked intelligence information for political gain.
