The House Intelligence Committee is stepping up its probe into Russian interference in last year’s U.S. election, seeking testimony from five key witnesses including FBI Director James Comey and National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers.

Both have been asked to testify in a closed hearing on May 2, according to a statement Friday from the panel. In addition, the committee asked three former officials from President Barack Obama’s administration – CIA Director John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates — to testify publicly at an unspecified later date.
