HOUSE INTELLIGENCE CHAIRMAN: TRANSITION MEMBERS WERE MONITORED BY INTEL COMMUNITY UNDER OBAMA! 3/22/2017
Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill Wednesday, House
Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes revealed a number of American
citizens who worked on the Trump transition team were monitored, surveilled and
unmasked by the intelligence community during the previous Obama
administration. Although the monitoring was legal, it was certainly
inappropriate. Information collected on these individuals was then widely
disseminated, despite being irrelevant to ongoing investigations into Russia.
Nunes revelation comes three weeks after President Trump
claimed President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower. There hasn't been any evidence
of wiretapping, but the White House argues Trump was referring to overall
surveillance of his campaign, not specifically wiretapping.
Nunes will brief President Trump about his findings this
afternoon.
Following his announcement on Wednesday that intelligence
officials engaged in surveillance of the Trump transition team, based on the
House Intelligence Committee's findings, Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) noted that
he'd be personally briefing President Trump on the matter in the coming hours.
Former chief counsel for the committee, Jeremy Bash, finds
that horrifying. He argued on MSNBC that Nunes is jeopardizing the committee's
integrity by sharing sensitive information with the president during an ongoing
investigation.
"I've got to believe that other members of the
committee are horrified by what they've just witnessed," Bash said.
"This is a true breakdown in the entire oversight process."
Following Nunes' press conference, Trump said he felt
somewhat vindicated by the committee's findings. ~~By Katie Pavlich and Cortney
