Benjamin Cardin, D-Md., released a letter he wrote to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton asking her to deny entry to the United States of several senior officials from the Russian Interior Ministry, the Federal Security Service and the Federal Tax Service./ppMagnitsky's colleagues and attorney believe the public officials listed by Cardin were involved in the lawyer's death./ppWe can take the concrete action to ensure those public officials and others who share responsibility for this crime should be denied entry visas to the United States, Cardin wrote.
