HOUSE INTEL CHAIR APOLOGIZES TO COMMITTEE, BUT REFUSES TO SAY IF HE GOT SURVEILLANCE INFO FROM WH
House Intelligence chairman Devin Nunes is
trying his hardest to skew the truth
During a hearing on Thursday, Nunes refused to reveal the sources for his claim that Trump’s transition team appeared in U.S. intelligence reports.
“As you know, we have to keep our sources and methods here very, very quiet,” he told reporters. “I’ve told the American public several times we want people to bring us information if they have it. Over the course of this investigation, we’ve had many sources who have come to this committee. And as you can imagine, some — many — don’t want you or anyone to know who they are. I think you guys in the press understand this. You have your own sources.”
Nunes, who once served as a member of Trump’s transition team, said it was a “judgment call” to brief Trump and the media first, before briefing the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee.
“We are not going to ever reveal sources or if not, who is ever going to come down to the committee?”
On Wednesday, Nunes suggested that some of Trump’s transition team was swept up in “incidental” surveillance targeting foreign nationals.
