For some months now, the House Intelligence Committee, led by Rep. Devin Nunes, has been investigating whether there were political motivations to the the Obama White House’s “unmasking” of American citizens who were named in intelligence reports. Nunes has previously stated that he has seen evidence that this occurred from, among others, National Security Adviser Susan Rice. Nunes received quite a bit of criticism for the way he obtained and presented this evidence. Nunes subsequently recused himself from the Trump-Russia investigation in the House, though not from the broader congressional investigation into the possible improper handling of intelligence by Obama administration officials.

However, it’s worth noting that Rice doesn’t exactly deny that she was involved in unmasking after the fact, and she apparently lied about the unmasking issue when she was asked about it directly on television just a few weeks before Nunes’s revelations. (Her credibility in general is not riding high this year.) And though it is unrelated to the Nunes revelations, it’s also worth noting that the leaking of the unmasked identity of former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, is a documented crime that did occur as a result of someone in Obama administration.
