House Intel Committee Chair Devin Nunes Unilaterally Issues Subpoenas

HeadlineJun 01, 2017

The Wall Street Journal reports embattled chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes, unilaterally issued three subpoenas—to the FBI, the CIA and the National Security Agency—seeking to learn how the names of Trump associates were “unmasked” in classified intelligence reports. Nunes’ subpoenas are unrelated to his committee’s investigation into charges that Russia meddled in the 2016 election, and came without the approval of Democrats, who say Nunes is seeking to distract from the committee’s work. Nunes previously said he would recuse himself from the Russia investigation.
