Congressional Democrats are stepping up calls for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes to recuse himself from the panel’s probe of Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election.
The committee’s top Democrat, Adam Schiff, was joined by other panel members and Democratic leaders in demanding Nunes step aside due to his service on President Donald Trump’s transition team and after admitting Monday that he visited the White House to view intelligence documents that he used to bolster Trump’s claims of surveillance by former President Barack Obama.
