U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced Rubio would serve as Acting Chairman of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
"I am grateful to Leader McConnell for his confidence in me to lead the Senate Intelligence Committee during Senator Burr's absence from the Chairmanship," Rubio said. "The Committee has long been one that conducts its work seriously, and I look forward to continuing that tradition."
