Marco Rubio will serve as interim Senate Intelligence Committee chairman, replacing Richard Burr, who stepped down amid an FBI probe into his stock trades
Sen. Marco Rubio will temporarily serve as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced on Monday.
Rubio is among the Senate’s most vocal Russia and China hawks, and he has actively sought to position himself as a go-to Republican voice on foreign policy and national security issues. He is expected to largely continue Burr’s bipartisan approach to the committee’s Russia investigation. Sen.

The secretive Intelligence Committee, which conducts nearly all of its business in private classified facilities, will be busy in the weeks and months to come. When it comes to the committee’s business, Burr is viewed as a straight shooter and he has a solid working relationship with the panel’s Democratic vice chairman, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia. Burr’s moves as chairman have often drawn the ire of Trump and his supporters, including his decision to issue a subpoena to the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.
