House Intel Dems preparing to release Russia-linked Facebook ads
Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee are gearing up to publicly release a trove of Facebook ads linked to Russia.
“We have been in ongoing discussions with Facebook and hope to have the final redacted ads in our possession within a matter of days. As soon as we receive them, it is our intention to share them with the public," Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), ranking member on the committee, said in a statement to The Hill on Sunday.
The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on the potential release of the ads. According to the report, more than 3,000 could be released.
The release could provide further insight into how much Facebook was exploited by Russian actors during the 2016 presidential election.
According to the Journal, the ads could be released early this week depending on whether the panel's Democrats can reach an agreement with Facebook over how much to redact.
Facebook said the ads were purchased by the Internet Research Agency, which has been tied to the Kremlin.
The House Intelligence Committee has been plagued by infighting between its Democratic and Republican members.
The Republican-majority committee released their final report last month detailing Russian election meddling, saying there was no evidence of collusion between President Trump and Russian election interference.
However, Democrats on the committee pushed back, saying the probe had not yet concluded and that the investigation was politically fraught.
The report comes as Facebook finds itself in hot water for its handling of Russia's use of the platform during the 2016 campaign.
Facebook revealed in September it had identified 470 accounts connected to the Internet Research Agency, who purchased 3,000 ads meant to foment political tension during the campaign.
The social media company has also faced backlash over its relationship with British research firm Cambridge Analytica, which had connections to the Trump campaign and has since announced it is shutting down.
Facebook said in March that the research firm improperly harvested the data of 87 million Facebook users, going against its policies.
Mueller's team questions Russian oligarch about payments to Cohen
Russian oligarch, sanctioned for 2016 election interference, wired hundreds of thousands of dollars to Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen, after the election, to the same account Cohen created to funnel hush money to Stormy Daniels.
Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigators have questioned a Russian oligarch about hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments his company's US affiliate made to President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, after the election, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Viktor Vekselberg, chairman of asset manager Renova Group, is an oligarch close to Vladimir Putin, and last month the Trump administration placed him on a list of sanctioned Russians for activities including election interference. The purpose of the payments, which predate the sanctions, and the nature of the business relationship between Vekselberg and Cohen is unclear.
The scrutiny of the payments could add to the legal troubles for Cohen, whose home and office were raided last month as part of a criminal investigation by federal prosecutors in Manhattan. In court documents, the prosecutors said at least part of their inquiry stemmed from a referral from Mueller's office.
Trump suggests legal action coming against Mueller's team
The questions asked of Vekselberg suggest that Mueller investigators have been examining some of Cohen's business relationships as part of the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Vekselberg is one of two Russian oligarchs the FBI stopped earlier this year after their private jets landed in New York-area airports as part of Mueller's investigation.
Investigators also asked Vekselberg about donations the head of his US affiliate made to Trump's inaugural fund and campaign funds, sources said.
The attorney for Stormy Daniels -- the porn star who received $130,000 to keep quiet about an alleged affair she had with Trump a decade ago -- produced information Tuesday evening that appears to add further details to CNN's reporting. Michael Avenatti alleged that Cohen received half a million dollars from a company affiliated with Vekselberg in the months after the presidential election.

Avenatti alleged the $500,000 went into the bank account for Essential Consultants, a shell company that Cohen set up before the election that was used to pay Daniels. Avenatti added that the payments occurred from January to August 2017.
House Democrats release Russian-bought Facebook ads to show 'malign' effect on 2016 election
Select ads purchased by the Kremlin-linked Internet Research Agency have previously been released.
The majority of the ads appear to target politically divisive issues like gun control, race relations and immigration.
Much of the wording is awkward, as though translated to English, and inflammatory.
