Speaking in San Diego, California, on Monday, Sessions said the Justice Department has told Nunes his request goes too far but that the department would be willing to talk about to him about it."The Department of Justice has written him a letter and responded as appropriate to him. The request he's made is one that the intelligence communities and Department of Justice feels is not grantable," Sessions said. "We have explained that we would like -- we would be willing to talk to him about it before, the details of which I couldn't discuss."
In a rare gaggle with reporters at the Capitol on Monday night, Nunes said he heard Sessions' response, adding that a time is being worked out for them to talk but it won't be as soon as Monday night. Nunes also said he doesn't think the White House and the Justice Department are on the same page over the issue, despite Short's comments, and said he hadn't spoken to Ryan about holding Sessions in contempt. Nunes also disputed the characterization that his comments to Fox on Sunday amounted to a threat.
"It wasn't a threat," Nunes said. "It's what's going to happen."
I'm glad Nunes is keeping the pressure on.
