Top House Intel Democrat Responds to Devin Nunes: ‘Cannot Conduct a Credible Investigation This Way’

Congressman Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, has released a statement responding to the information Committee chairman Devin Nunes disclosed today about incidental collection of Trump team communications.

He expressed concerns about how Nunes shared this information with President Trump and the White House “before providing it to the committee.”

Nunes provided the following comment to a reporter:

NUNES tells me he can’t show Dem ranking member Schiff any of the reports because Nunes/the committee doesn’t have them in their possession
