Nunes, acceding to White House, says Trump's wiretap claim will be investigated
Nunes (R-Tulare), who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, said the probe of the presidents allegation would be wrapped into an existing investigation of Russias role in the 2016 presidential campaign.
Obama, through a spokesman, denied Trumps wiretap claim, which was made Saturday on Twitter. And James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, said Sunday on NBCs Meet the Press that no such surveillance had been carried out during the campaign against Trump or his aides.
Nunes, who has been publicly skeptical as to whether there was any collusion with Russia by Trump or his camp, said the intelligence committee would make inquiries into whether the government was conducting surveillance activities on any political party's campaign officials or surrogates."
The White House on Sunday demanded that Congress investigate whether Obama abused his executive powers, without providing any evidence the former president had done so.

(3,363 posts)Devin Nunes is compromised and conspiring to coverup the Russia scandal to protect Trump. How can we demand he step down ?

(5,256 posts)This is getting too big for the Republics in the House to block, and the Senate has to be about ready to cut bait.
And I think we're headed for a GOOP loss of 90 seats already. This wouldn't help them there.
