HELLOOO! He was on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He met with over 30 Ambassadors last year. Shocker.
He was not a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Members of that committee routinely meet with ambassadors. He was on the Senate Arm Services Committee. Members do not as a matter of routine meet with ambassadors. Of the more than 20 members he was the only one to have contact with Russian officials.
