How do you know the congressman misspoke on this?
Did he clarify his statement or is this an assumption of yours?

How do you know the congressman misspoke on this?

From National Review:

"Yesterday, on High Hewitt’s radio show, Representative Devin Nunes, a California Republican, seemed to allege that the Justice Department had also “tapped” phone lines in the cloakroom, a room for lawmakers near the House floor.

That, in addition to the secret seizure of Associated Press call logs, would have raised serious balance of power issues.

A spokesman for Nunes, however, tells National Review Online that the congressman didn’t mean to make that claim.

“There was a little confusion between him and the host during the conversation: He did not mean to refer to phone records of the cloakroom itself, but of the Capitol,” said Nunes spokesman Jack Langer.

DOJ did seize call logs for a phone in the Capitol used by AP reporters, but that phone is in the press gallery, not the cloakroom."
