HOUSE OF REPS/INTELLIGENCE: “The U.S. political research firm that commissioned a dossier on Donald Trump while he was running for president said on Monday [10-16-17] it would not comply with subpoenas issued by the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee.
Lawyers for Fusion GPS, which hired former British spy Christopher Steele to produce the Trump research, told the committee’s Republican chairman, U.S. Representative Devin Nunes, in a letter that the subpoenas were flawed and that nothing in the subpoenas indicated the intelligence committee had authorized him to issue them.
The lawyers also questioned Nunes’ role in signing the subpoenas since he had recused himself from the committee’s investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign…
The lawyers noted the subpoenas, which have not been made public, ordered the Central Intelligence Agency to produce documents but pointed out that the Fusion GPS firm and its representatives who received subpoenas have no relationship with the CIA…
Representatives for Nunes did not immediately respond to emails requesting comment.”
