The Senate Intelligence Committee announced Monday they were looking into Jill Stein’s 2016 presidential campaign for possible collusion.

Sen. Richard Burr, who chairs the committee, told CNN that there were “two other campaigns” his committee was just starting to investigate. The North Carolina Republican declined to comment further in a followup with the committee spokesperson.

BuzzFeed reports that the committee has requested documents from Ms. Stein and that she contacted her former campaign aide, Dennis Trainor Jr., to make him aware of the request. He told BuzzFeed he believes Ms. Stein plans to cooperate fully.

Ms. Stein attended a dinner in 2015 at which Russian President Vladimir Putin and former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn were also present, the presumed point of the committee’s interest.
