Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) backed calls for a congressional probe into Russian interference in the U.S. election, saying the Senate Intelligence Committee is "more than capable" of investigating the matter.

"Obviously any foreign breach of our cybersecurity measures is disturbing, and I strongly condemn any such efforts," McConnell told reporters at a news conference at the Capitol Monday.

McConnell dismissed calls for a select committee, saying that the Senate will follow the "regular order." He stressed that foreign interference in U.S. elections "simply cannot be a partisan issue."

"It's an important subject and we intend to review it on a bipartisan basis," McConnell said, adding: "The Russians are not our friends."
