WATCH: Devin Nunes Tears Into Adam Schiff at Intel Committee Hearing
“Welcome to another hearing of the Trump impeachment committee,” Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) quipped during his opening statement at a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Friday.
Adam Schiff (D-CA) convened Friday’s meeting to question Joseph B. Maher, the Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis. According to the chairman, Maher has been “preventing a lawful Intelligence Community whistleblower—the former head of an Intelligence Community element—from providing classified testimony to the Committee by delaying security clearances for his attorneys.” That whistleblower leveled several allegations against the agency, including that they “suppressed intelligence reports about Russia’s election interference and efforts to modify intelligence assessments to match Trump’s rhetoric on white supremacy, Antifa, and terrorism threats at the border.” He alleged that the DHS told him to stop reporting on the Russian threat to the U.S. election because it “made President Trump look bad.” The White House and the DHS denied all allegations.
Nunes noted that the Democrats called the whistleblower in question a liar just a few weeks before he filed this complaint. But now, they take him as their word as their “star witness.”
The ranking member accused his Democratic colleagues of dragging the panel through another investigation hoping that they’ll find the “holy grail of scandals that finally gets rid of Trump without beating him in the election.” They are, Nunes said, “sick fantasies.”
