The top spokesman for President Trump declined to rule out that someone at the White House may have given or alerted the House Intelligence committee chairman about documents revealing intelligence collection involving Trump campaign associates. On Wednesday California congressman Devin Nunes briefed the press and later President Trump on information he had obtained that showed “the intelligence community incidentally collected information about U.S. citizens involved in the Trump transition.”
White House press secretary Sean Spicer said in his Friday briefing that he did not know who provided the documentation to Nunes, a Republican. When asked if he could categorically rule out that someone at the White House had done so, Spicer said he could not answer the question because he was unaware of where the document came from.
