The White House says the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee will brief President Trump on the possible monitoring of Trump associates.
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Tulare) said Wednesday that the communications of Trump transition officials — possibly including Trump himself — may have been “monitored” after the election as part of an “incidental collection.”
Nunes said the intercepted communications do not appear to be related to the ongoing FBI investigation into Trump associates' contacts with Russia. He said he believes the intelligence collections were done legally.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer provided no further details on the pending meeting between Trump and Nunes later Wednesday.
