    Reports: Trump administration leaked information to lawmakers on Obama spying
  • A New York Times report has found that two political appointees of the Trump administration, working in the White House had provided Representative Devin Nunes classified reports supposedly validating some of President Trump's wiretapping allegations.

    The finding raises serious questions on the credibility of the information released by Nunes who happens to be the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

  • As chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Nunes is leading its investigation into the Trump team's links with Russia.

    Nunes has faced calls to recuse himself of the investigation and resign from his post as committee chairman.

    House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Republican, is standing by Nunes. This means Nunes will likely conduct the investigation.

    However, this may hit the credibility of its findings.
