WASHINGTON – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) a “stooge for the White House” due to his staff preparing a classified memo that reportedly alleges a controversial dossier was inappropriately used to renew a surveillance warrant against Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
“The speaker has appointed somebody who's totally irresponsible, politicizing the process and really it should not be happening. For example, right now he's talking about releasing a document, releasing a document that is predicated on another document, that was put together on the basis of total misrepresentation. It's like the wrap-up smear. Let me do a terrible document. Now, let me write a report on it and release it feathers to the wind as people see it,” Pelosi said during a Washington Post Live State of the Union Preview event on Monday.
“Now, as you said, I have seen most of the underlying documents – I can tell you that the memo that they reference is a misrepresentation,” she added. “…This is about our national security. This is about protecting sources and methods. This is about the integrity of our intelligence. It should never be politicized. And that's what they're doing. And Nunes is really a stooge for the White House to do all of this – since we're spending time together, I thought we wouldn't waste any of it with any niceties.”
