The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee described the latest witness testimony in the panel's ongoing Russia probe as "contentious," saying that Corey Lewandowski failed to answer questions on key topics. The former Trump campaign manager would not talk about the production of a false statement about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between top campaign officials and a Russian lawyer. Nor would he answer questions about conversations surrounding the firing of FBI Director James Comey, or any discussions he had with President Trump about special counsel Robert Mueller's potential firing.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-California, told reporters Thursday that Lewandowksi argued to the panel that he didn't think the topics were "relevant," though the committee emphasized that was not his determination to make.

When Lewandowski last appeared before the committee in January, he said he wasn't prepared to answer questions about events that took place after the campaign. On Thursday, Lewandowski left the committee and exclaimed to reporters, "I answered every relevant question they had!"

Schiff told reporters that while Lewandowski did answer a set of questions concerning his time after the campaign, "Nonetheless, witnesses don't get to pick and choose when it comes to very relevant testimony to our investigation, so we have requested a subpoena."
