More than three months after the Senate Intelligence Committee launched its investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election — including allegations of collusion by associates of President Trump — the panel has made little progress and is increasingly stymied by partisan divisions that are jeopardizing the future of the inquiry, according to multiple sources involved in the probe.

President Trump continues to rant about a pair of new polls that show he is approaching his 100th day in office with the lowest approval rating of any president in more than 70 years.

On the campaign trail last fall, Republican Sen. Richard Burr told North Carolina voters there was no "separation” between himself and Donald Trump. The Senate Intelligence Committee chairman also bragged about his role in getting the FBI to investigate Hillary Clinton’s emails.
Now, the third-term senator is under fire for running interference for the White House last week on a news report asserting repeated contacts between Trump’s campaign and Moscow.
It's totally unfair to compare Trump's first 100 days to Obama's. It would be fairer to compare his accomplishments with those of other former game-show hosts with glaring personality disorders.- Andy Borowitz

But it did not mention Mexicans or any other nationalities.
Trump’s biggest accomplishment in his first 100 days has been making it seem like much longer. - Conan O'Brien
