A leading Republican has said he would like to probe possible links between Donald Trump's businesses and Russia and believed it would be helpful to obtain his tax returns.
Senator Lindsey Graham said he wanted to use a congressional committee he sits on to investigate the issue, after a former senior intelligence official had testified he could not fully comment on the matter.
The South Carolina senator also reportedly said that getting hold of the presidents tax returns would be helpful to the effort, though he said it was too soon to talk about issuing a subpoena to the White House.
CNN said that as a result, Mr Graham now wanted the judiciary committee to pursue this matter. It said the senator had said he would liaise with the FBI about its ongoing matter into the matter.
The network said Mr Graham believed it would be helpful to the investigation to get its hand on Mr Trumps tax returns - something the president has said he will not release. Trump still believes he is above the law.
Asked if the committee was ready to use a subpoena to force the White House to release such information, he reportedly replied: We are not there yet.
