The House Intelligence Committee has scrapped the rest of its meetings this week as calls intensify for Chairman Devin Nunes to step down following his admission that he met with a secret source at the White House to review intelligence reports.
The decision to cancel the meetings was confirmed on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" by Rep. Jim Himes — among the Democrats on the committee demanding that Rep. Nunes recuse himself from the inquiry into alleged Russian meddling in last year's election.
Himes said an intelligence committee meeting Monday was canceled, as well as an open hearing set for Wednesday and an unrelated meeting Thursday.
"Not only has this investigation sort of had a shadow cast on it, but the committee's been put into suspended animation," Himes said.
Nunes told reporters Tuesday "the investigation continues," but declined to say whether he planned to recuse himself.
On Monday, Nunes' spokesman confirmed that the chairman met with a source at the White House grounds to look at reports purportedly showing President Donald Trump or his aides were "incidentally" swept up in foreign surveillance by American spy agencies.
Nunes, a California Republican who was a member of the Trump transition team, initially told reporters last week that he had seen such reports, but didn't elaborate on the source.
He's now under criticism for failing to tell the top Democrat on the intelligence committee about his White House visit. It's also unclear why Nunes would go to the White House to seek a secure location to view classified material when members of the committee said there are secure rooms at the Capitol.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer refused to comment Monday when asked why Nunes was on White House grounds.

if they want him to step down, he must have the goods
Nunes should step down? Why? Because some Democrat on the committee says so? That’s a laugh!
It’s clear the libtards are engaging in scorched-earth policy. I’m not sure they can sustain this level of acrimony.
I’ve read elsewhere that they’ve only cancelled the “Russian” part lol
There had better be a few more white hats step forward. This is getting to be a hard slog for those who still believe in this country. Let’s get the proof on the spying on Journalists, judges etc.
The Dems are afraid the Nunes will let the cat out of the bag that Trump and his staff were “Wiretapped/Surveilled”. When the democrats are exposed on that and then it is concluded that nobody in the Trump Administration colluded with the Russians they will be sitting there with egg on their faces and no more arguments to excuse their electoral failures. But then again, that will just be an opportunity to invent somethings else. Stay tuned!
We need to support this guy...he did what he was suppose to do, he received the information and went directly to President Trump with his findings...
The reason the libs are upset is they don’t exactly know what all is in all the information, we have pedophilia going on, we have foreign country deals that have been going on, we have ‘back room deals’ that have been going on...
Support Nunes...
Use their logic. The “seriousness of the charges” require that the prior administration suspicious activities be handled in a secure mannet beyond thereach of Obama loyalists and partisan comittee members.
Sounds to me like the Democrats are scared to death of where this investigation is going. The perjury have been accusing the victims of the crimes they have committed and they are about to be found out.
There are too many investigations in Congress that have been swept under the rug - to many indictments which have not happened - too many purjuries in which there have been no judicial action. Congress do you job!!!!
change perjury to “perps” - thanks
That’s some hard-hitting reporting there from NBC.
“Sort of had a shadow cast on it....” Sounds SERIES!
Also, I never trust “news sites” that don’t allow comments on their stories. Too many fake news sites do that.
Hmmm, NBC???
Nunes absolutely rejected their ludicrous call!! There is no reason to do anything but keep exposing the obama White House felonies of illegal wire taps and unmaskings!! We want indictments!! NO WAY!! ( I hope Jeff Sessions is watching and not recusing)) Their bs is political cover up for felonies committed by the obama White house in using intelligence agencies wire tapping and exposing those wiretapped by committing felonies to advance the political positions of the Democrat leftists . That makes Watergate look like Captain Kangaroo. This was the greatest abuse of power in our history by far!! It is absolutely true.
Craziness, the republicans are nuts listening to this crap.
“Waaaaaah......he stole our fake narrative and now wants to use it reveal actual crimes”
Liberals are trying to thwart Trump in every way from day one. Let’s count the many ways:
1) Huge nationwide protest rally on the day after his inauguration.
2) lawsuits to prevent Trump from temporarily banning refugees from 6 countries (originally 7 ) until a satisfactory vetting process is in place ( the courts sided with the libs ).
3) Threats to filibuster Neil Gorsuch to the SCOTUS.
4) Scores of Sanctuary cities refusing to cooperate with Trump in enforcing our immigration laws.
5) Lawsuits and sabotage to the Dakota and Keystone Pipeline.
6) Threats to impeach Trump.
And we are not even 100 days into this administration.
(ADD YOURS HERE ).
He’s got the goods and they’re trying to destroy him.
Exactly! Listen to how loud they’re screeching.
In the beginning of a chess game players move pieces out into the middle of the board, claiming territory, or attacking other pieces. When a player’s piece is threatened, the player moves a different piece that will take the opponent’s piece if they attack. Soon it seems all the pieces are ready to attack another, and there is no safe move left. A player finally takes an opponent’s piece, and starts a cascade of carnage on the board. This is where we are about now.
