House Intelligence Committee met with Ben Rhodes: Report
Jul 25, 2017
The Intelligence Committee is also investigating intelligence leaks, and Rhodes has become a person of interest for certain Republicans as someone who may be playing a role in the leaking of classified information from the Trump administration to reporters.
Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., who is not a member of the intelligence panel, has accused Rhodes of being a primary source of the leaks causing harm to the Trump administration and called on Trump to remove all Obama official holdovers from his administration. The Florida Republican said in an interview on MSNBC earlier this month that Rhodes may be in contact with Obama holdovers in the National Security Council, who are behind the “selective leaking” hurting Trump’s ability to conduct foreign policy.

House conservatives gunning for probe of James Comey, Hillary Clinton
FOX News ^ | July 28, 2017 | Josh Siegel
A group of House conservatives has filed an amendment asking the Justice Department for information related to former FBI Director James Comey’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email case.
The amendment, first reported by the Washington Post, demands information on “leaks by James B. Comey,” on “the propriety and consequence of immunity deals given to possible Hillary Clinton co-conspirators” and Comey’s decision to “usurp the authority of then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch in his unusual announcement that criminal charges would not be brought against” Clinton.
“Obama official holdovers”
Now, there is *no* excuse for that, not at this late date.
No wonder Trump has been hinting he wanted Sessions to quit. Pressure to make Sessions go to work on the leaks.
