(CNN)House Russia investigators are planning to call on Brad Parscale, the digital director of President Donald Trump's campaign, as the congressional and federal probes dig into any possible connections between the Trump digital operation and Russian operatives, congressional sources said this week.

Parscale told CNN Friday that he had not been contacted by any investigators -- either federal or Congressional.

Senate investigators in particular have been interested in looking for a link between the prevalence of fake news that supported Trump and was pinpointed in key areas of Rust Belt states that ultimately flipped from blue to red -- and helped Trump secure the White House.

"There have been reports that their ability to target this information, some reports at least saying that in the last week of the campaign in certain precincts in Wisconsin and Michigan and Pennsylvania there was so much misinformation coming talking about Hillary Clinton's illnesses or Hillary Clinton stealing money from the State Department or other. It completely blanked out any of the back and forth that was actually going on in the campaign," Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, said at a March 30 hearing.

The latest Democrat excuse.

The only “pinpointing” possible would be via local media. Media which is left leaning.

Sen. Mark Warner, you’re a liar. No one is buying your deluded BS, pal.

Impeach Trump over bogus charges and this old man will clean his rifle and take up hunting.

Presumably "their" refers to Trump's campaign.

A campaign's abilities are not properly a subject of a Congressional investigation.

The Democrats are sore losers and they are abusing Congressional powers.

Are they going to subpoena the employees of Cambridge Analytica, too?

So Trump can’t be President because it’s not fair that RT is on the internet. Got it.

Why is Mueller even needed to investigate Russia and Trump? The House and Senate both are spending all their time ‘investigating’ Trump and the Rooshins instead of producing any legislation or working on appointees. Need to fire some of these time wasting folks.

when they found out that the Macadonian boys were teens and pre-teens using 10 year old desktops and who’s primary purpose was to make click-dollars from sponsors irrespective of whether the topic was political, cooking or sports, they dropped the whole ‘massive fake-news data centers with thousands of people’ excuse.

I wish. It keeps coming up, not often, but it's not dead. Relabeled now to "active measures" so as to hide the details.
