Sen. Mark Warner on the Russia probe: 'More of this picture's coming into view'
"There's pressure on me from a number of Democrats who presume the president is guilty and, you know, 'Let's just get to that,'" Warner told CNBC.
"I think [Senate Intelligence Committee members will] also agree that there was a huge amount of contact between the Russians and officials from the Trump organization and campaign."
"The nature of that contact and what may or may not have been exchanged, I think the jury is still out."
