House Intel Leaders Clash on Scheduling of Key Testimony

The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee accused the panel’s Republican chairman Devin Nunes of “cancelling” an open hearing on Russian election interference on Friday. The rebuke came after Nunes said he was postponing the hearing until after the committee hears closed testimony from FBI director James Comey and NSA director Admiral Mike Rogers.

The decision and pushback mark the latest party-line clash surrounding the committee’s Russia probe. That investigation includes the leaks that precipitated the February resignation of former national security adviser Mike Flynn as well as potential collusion between Trump associates and Russia.
