CNBC/Reuters: Democrats vow to continue Russia probe and issue own report
* Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee said they will put out their own report that will "set out for the country what evidence we have seen to date."
* They held a news conference a day after Republicans, who control Congress, said the full panel's investigation was over and they had found no evidence of collusion between President Donald Trump's campaign and Moscow's efforts to influence the vote.
* The Democrats also released a 22-page status report on the investigation, listing lines of inquiry they feel should be pursued and more than 30 witnesses that have not been interviewed.
Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee said on Tuesday they would keep investigating Russia and the 2016 U.S. election, despite a decision by Republicans on the panel to shut down the probe.
