Congressmen question Trump on U.S.-Russia friendship

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top Republican and Democrat on the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on Sunday cast doubt on whether Russia can become an ally of the United States, an idea President-elect Donald Trump has embraced.

Republican Devin Nunes, chairman of the committee, said on "Fox News Sunday" he would like to see a U.S.-Russia friendship but does not know if it is possible.
