This comes a day after this report from CNN yesterday:

Federal prosecutors have issued grand jury subpoenas to associates of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn seeking business records, as part of the ongoing probe of Russian meddling in last year’s election, according to people familiar with the matter. CNN learned of the subpoenas hours before President Donald Trump fired FBI director James Comey.

The Republican chair of the Senate Intel Committee, Richard Burr, said in a statement last night he was “troubled by the timing and reasoning” of James Comey‘s firing.
