Nunes Now Unsure Trump Associates Were Surveilled

March 23, 2017 at 6:13 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) does not know “for sure” whether President Trump or members of his transition team were even on the phone calls or other communications now being cited as partial vindication for the president’s wiretapping claims against the Obama administration, ABC News reports.

Said a spokesperson: “He said he’ll have to get all the documents he requested from the about this before he knows for sure.”
