Democrats are demanding to know if Russian trolls or bots have tried to ‘manipulate public opinion’ on Facebook and Twitter again

The concern for Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Adam Schiff, detailed in a new letter Tuesday, is the so-called #ReleasetheMemo campaign on social media. For weeks, Republicans have sought to call attention to a secret dossier they compiled that details abuses of power at the FBI — an effort that Democrats say is merely an attempt to discredit an investigation into Russian interference during the 2016 presidential election.
