Elizabeth Warren questions Devin Nunes’ loyalty over Trump wiretap flap

Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren unleashed another Twitter rant on Wednesday, calling on Republicans to “get on the right side of history” and call for an independent commission to investigate President Trump’s ties to Russia after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes revealed that he shared information with Trump that was withheld from his committee.

“Who does House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes think he works for: the American people or [Trump]?” the Massachusetts senator asked.


Earlier in the day, Nunes said that he shared information with Trump about officials in his transition team — and perhaps Trump himself — having their identities “unmasked” after their communications were intercepted by U.S. intelligence officials.


Warren alleged that Nunes is not only consulting with the president but is also leaking information to help him. “The idea that Devin Nunes will investigate Trump/Russia is a farce. It’s time for a real, independent, transparent inquiry,” Warren said, echoing a rallying call started by the top Democrat on the House intelligence panel, Rep. Adam Schiff.


“The truth will come out, @GOP. Get on the right side of history before it’s too late,” Warren concluded.
