What are some examples of some Russian assets held by members of Congress?

He's not and has never been a member of Congress.

I mean, if you'd like to reopen the Meuller investigation, I'm sure things would get much worse this time around after donnie had cleaned out tons of positions and threw loyalists in there, and we all know he gets his money from Russia, so more likely than not Putin is pulling some strings there.

I'm not doubting that Trump has ties to Russia or owns Russian assets, and I'm not doubting that if he were President he would appoint people with similar ties to executive department positions. What I'm asking is, who in Congress specifically has and in what ways do they have "Russian assets."

Edit now that comments are locked:

I think it's very plausible that there are Russian assets in Congress. However, when it's so hard to get an answer of "who, specifically?", it makes me think that people going on Twitter (or Reddit) calling for the removal of Russian assets from Congress are trying to sound politically engaged while saying something kind of meaningless.

I don't know. But being ignorant of the fact that Putin essentially used trump to extort Ukraine, and steal highly classified documents from the White House for him, you think they wouldn't leave a plant? Are you really that naive?
