The Senate Select Intelligence Committee has subpoenaed President Donald Trump's former national security advisor, Michael Flynn, sending a clear message that the investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election is moving forward.
It is the first subpoena the committee has announced in the course of its Russian Federation investigation - a step Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., was long reticent to take.
The Senate Intelligence Committee issued the demand for documents from Flynn relating to Russia's alleged meddling.
The subpoenas are seen as a significant escalation in the investigation initially launched by the FBI last July.
Federal prosecutors with the FBI have also issued grand jury subpoenas to Flynn, according to a report from CNN. The senators said the documents are the same as those first requested from Flynn on April 28.

In March, Kelner requested immunity for Flynn to testify in Congress, saying the media was filled with "unfounded allegations, outrageous claims of treason, and vicious innuendo directed against him".
Obama fired Flynn in 2014 as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Other congressional committees and the Pentagon's inspector general are also separately examining whether Flynn was fully forthcoming about his foreign contacts and earnings from organizations linked to the governments of Russian Federation and Turkey.
Flynn was sacked for misleading vice president Mike Pence about the nature of his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, who was among the Russian diplomats who met today with Trump at the White House.
Among the payments they cited were more than $33,000 from RT, a Russian state-sponsored television network that USA intelligence officials have branded as a propaganda front for Russia's government. But Turkish businessman Ekim Alptekin has told The Associated Press that the payments from Flynn's firm were refunds for unperformed lobbying.
