Esto va al n\u00facleo de nuestra seguridad nacional\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>El grupo envi\u00f3 una carta a Sessions, solicitando respuestas a las siguientes preguntas:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 el general Flynn sigui\u00f3 recibiendo y entregando el informe clasificado diario al presidente durante 17 d\u00edas despu\u00e9s de que el DOJ informara a la Casa Blanca que era susceptible al chantaje ruso?<\/li>\n<li>\u00bfEn qu\u00e9 se bas\u00f3 el abogado de la Casa Blanca, Donald McGahn, para determinar que no se viol\u00f3 ninguna ley? \u00bfSe har\u00e1 p\u00fablico ese razonamiento por escrito? \u00bfSi no, porque no?<\/li>\n<li>\u00bfSe puso a disposici\u00f3n del presidente alguna parte de la informaci\u00f3n en la transcripci\u00f3n de las escuchas telef\u00f3nicas? \u00bfSi es as\u00ed cuando?<\/li>\n<li>Durante el tiempo que se realizaron estas llamadas telef\u00f3nicas, \u00bfcu\u00e1l fue la naturaleza de la interacci\u00f3n entre el presidente electo Trump y el general Flynn? \u00bfEstaba el presidente electo al tanto del intento del general Flynn de llevar a cabo la pol\u00edtica exterior en nombre de su administraci\u00f3n entrante? De ser as\u00ed, \u00bfla discusi\u00f3n sobre el alivio de las sanciones se llev\u00f3 a cabo a pedido del entonces presidente electo Trump, o con su conocimiento previo? Si no, \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 el presidente electo no estaba al tanto de estas conversaciones con uno de los adversarios extranjeros m\u00e1s importantes de Estados Unidos?<\/li>\n<li>\u00bfQui\u00e9n m\u00e1s en la Administraci\u00f3n o el equipo de transici\u00f3n ten\u00eda conocimiento previo de las llamadas telef\u00f3nicas que el General Flynn realiz\u00f3 con los enviados extranjeros, o particip\u00f3 en ellas?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mientras tanto, el presidente Donald Trump enfrent\u00f3 nuevas preguntas el mi\u00e9rcoles sobre los contactos entre sus asociados y Rusia durante el ciclo electoral del a\u00f1o pasado. Trump dijo que tales preguntas se basan en &quot;teor\u00edas de conspiraci\u00f3n&quot; que tejen los medios y filtraciones ilegales de inteligencia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSi el fiscal general Sessions se toma en serio la salvaguardia de nuestra seguridad, debe designar un abogado especial independiente para que investigue sin demora\u201d, dijo Merkley.<\/p>\n<p>La carta tambi\u00e9n fue firmada por los senadores Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Tom Udall (D-NM), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Tom Carper (D-DE), Edward J. Markey (D-MA), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Cory A.
