The US Senate Intelligence Committee will release a report this week that was the first to study the millions of social media posts provided to Congress detailing Russian efforts to help elect US President Donald Trump, according to a Washington Post story Dec 16. 

The panel hasn’t endorsed the conclusions in the report, prepared for the Senate by Oxford University researchers, according to the Post, which said it obtained a draft. But the findings rely on data provided to the committee and members of the House Intelligence panel by companies such as Alphabet Inc’s Google and Facebook Inc. It will be one of two reports the committee will release this week, according to the Post.
