DEVIN NUNES/FBI/JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/RUSSIA/TRUMP PEOPLE: “The House Intelligence Committee may have concluded its Russia investigation, but the panel’s Republican chairman, Devin Nunes, is not finished grilling the FBI over its probe into Kremlin election meddling. In a letter to the Justice Department, Nunes is demanding an unredacted copy of the document that initiated the FBI’s investigation of links between Russia and President Donald Trump’s campaign. In the letter, provided Wednesday 4-4-18] to the Washington Examiner, Nunes threatens to exhaust ‘all appropriate legal remedies,’ including civil action in federal court, if the agency does not provide the document by April 11. The document in question describes information provided to the FBI by an Australian diplomat after a conversation with Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos in April 2016. Papadopoulos informed the diplomat at a London bar that he had been told the Russians possessed emails stolen from Trump’s rival, Hillary Clinton.”
