House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., accused “certain members of the press” of working for the Democratic Party on Monday, while addressing divergent takes among journalists and experts about whether this weekend’s release of top-secret documents related to the wiretapping of one-time Trump campaign aide Carter Page adds credence or detracts from his panel’s memo on alleged surveillance abuse.
During an interview on Fox News, host Laura Ingraham referred to a section in a Lawfare blog post by David Kris — focusing on the role the infamous Trump dossier written by ex-British spy Christopher Steele played in federal officials convincing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to approve spy warrants on Page for his suspicious ties to Russia — which she said Nunes’ critics have often repeated.
