The White House held a pair of classified briefings Thursday with senior congressional leaders on the FBI’s use of a confidential informant to investigate alleged Russian ties to the Trump campaign. Democrats were furious that Emmet Flood, President Trump’s lawyer in the Russia investigation, attended both meetings, along with White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. House Intelligence Committee ranking Democrat Adam Schiff said Flood’s involvement was “entirely improper.” He also said the briefing provided no evidence that the FBI was spying directly on the Trump campaign as the president has alleged.

Rep. Adam Schiff: “Nothing we heard today has changed our view that there is no evidence to support any allegation that the FBI or any intelligence agency placed a spy in the Trump campaign or otherwise failed to follow appropriate procedures and protocols.”

New York Democratic Congressmember Jerrold Nadler said Thursday it appears someone in the Trump administration or Congress broke the Intelligence Identities Protection Act when they revealed the name of the FBI’s confidential informant—Stefan Halper, a retired professor tapped in 2016 to investigate the Trump campaign.
