Twitter misses deadline to provide information to US Senate

WASHINGTON – Twitter Inc. missed a deadline on Monday to provide the US Senate Intelligence committee with information about alleged Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 US election, a spokeswoman for the committee's top Democrat, Senator Mark Warner, said on Tuesday.

The social media company had been asked to provide written answers to questions from the panel as it conducts one of the major congressional investigations into the alleged Russian activity and alleged collusion between Republican President Donald Trump's campaign and Moscow.

Russia denies any such activity and Trump has denied any collusion.
