Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer says President Donald Trump is not doing enough to protect the 2020 election in light of special counsel Robert Mueller�s findings.

In a letter to colleagues Tuesday, Schumer said Congress needs to �fill the vacuum� on election security.

He says the Senate should provide additional resources to beef up state and federal election systems and impose sanctions on Russia or others engaged in �malign activities� to interfere.

Schumer notes that the FBI has called the 2018 election a �dress rehearsal� for the next election. He says senators need a classified briefing to hear directly from the FBI, Homeland Security and others �on what, if any, actions are underway� to protect the vote.

Senators will meet privately Tuesday for the first time since Mueller�s report was released.
