Graham among senators escalating calls for severe Russia sanctions bill to advance


Thune, speaking to reporters at the Capitol on Monday, said that there's a "high level" of interest in the bill, and that the Senate might be able to work on it before the end of the month. "We are in conversations with the White House, obviously, about that subject and that issue … there's a high level of interest here in the Senate, on both sides of the aisle and moving on it, and it's very well could be something that we would take up in this work period," Thune said. "The only way to keep the pressure on is for things to happen like what happened today with Ukraine having a very successful military capability and operation, but in addition to that, the kinds of sanctions that are proposed in this legislation, and that is meant to help President Trump deliver on the vision and the deal he's talked about," McCormick said.
