House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said on Sunday that Republican lawmakers will move this week to hold Attorney General Jeff Sessions in contempt of Congress.
The morning after Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani told Fox News that Sessions should end special counsel Robert Muellers Russia investigation, Nunes phoned in to Fox & Friends to blast the attorney general for abuse of FISA counterintelligence wiretaps and other matters.
According to Nunes, the Justice Department has refused to comply with a subpoena for information that was used to convince a secret court to approve a wiretaps on then-Trump campaign staffer Carter Page.
The only thing thats left that we can do is we have to move quickly to hold the attorney general of the United States in contempt and thats what Im going to press for this week, Nunes revealed. Weve asked for very important information, its still classified. Because of the way they conducted this information, most of this information is classified. But because this is so important, Im not going to take any excuse to say, Oh were harming national security.'
