Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., the chairman of the committee, announced Friday that he had postponed what was to have been another public hearing on Tuesday, a decision that was angrily denounced moments later by Rep. Adam Schiff, the Californian who is the highest ranking Democrat on the committee. Schiff pointedly called the postponement a cancellation.
Nunes had said the committee needed more time so its members could hear in closed session more testimony from FBI Director James Comey and his National Security Agency counterpart, Adm. Mike Rogers. The two had said Monday that they could not answer some questions in public, and Nunes said the committee needs those answers "before we can move forward."
But Schiff accused Nunes of canceling the hearing, which was to have heard from Obama administration officials, to "choke off public information" and avoid any more embarrassment to the White House.
More signs that House panel’s Trump-Russia probe is reeling
here he is begging his boss for something to say, anything to say, sad bigly
