Obama's former national security adviser Susan Rice has agreed to meet with the House Intelligence Committee sometime next month as it continues to look into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, CNN reported Thursday. Obama's former hand-picked UN ambassador and National Security Advisor, Rice has become a target for GOP lawmakers who say she mishandled classified intelligence documents.
President Trump and other top Republicans have pointed to allegations that Rice revealed the names of Trump transition team associates in intelligence reports in an attempt to leak negative information about the Trump campaign. Rice has repeatedly denied the allegations.
"Former Ambassador Rice is cooperating with bipartisan Russia investigations conducted by the Intelligence Committees as she said she would," spokesman Erin Pelton said in a statement to The Hill. Rice was on a witness list agreed to by both parties. Rice will be another high-profile witness to be interviewed after fired FBI Director James Comey testified before the Senate Intelligence panel earlier this month.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, told CNN Thursday that the panel may need Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn to provide more records as their probe picks up.
"I think we may need more information,” the Democratic lawmaker said, referring to the files that the panel has already received from the two men.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) would reportedly not say when Rice or other high-profile Trump witnesses would meet with his panel.
I refuse to believe that at least part of the testimony cannot be public. Same with Podesta. Malodorous!
She lies in public with no shame. Why allow it in private?
Put her in prison. Never mind congress. Prosecute her.
Fix is in. Too many involved have blackmail-ready files. Ain’t no one “working” in DC very long without being compromised.
What happened to ‘the public’s right to know’?
Oh, I forgot - that’s only when a Republican is in the hot seat.
Will she be sworn in? Have they made a deal so she won’t do time....no matter what?? Will her testimony be limited? other words, lets see the legal paper between her and the Committee.
What are the REPUBLICANS trying to HIDE? This is OUR government, why is it being run from behind closed doors!!!
Will this kabuki theater stuff ever stop? Where are the Patriots?!
It has to be closed door because her and Obama’s deceit can’t stand in the light of day.
“meeting?’ Is this a chat over coffee or a hearing with her under oath? The GOPe had better not collude with the Dems on this.
Somebody, or more than one somebody, should plant “leaks” of all kinds of stuff that “she said” at her behind closed doors interview. The more the merrier. Pull on her what the Deep State and MSM have been doing to Trump and his admin members...
No rules in war.
Put her under oath in a public forum.
It is illegal to lie to or even mislead Congress regardless of whether one is under oath. Same with the FBI.
Susan, I would like to introduce you to Pandora. She has this little box full of goodies that was opened by your comrades during the 2016 election cycle. They were hoping to find a gadget called Trump-Russia-Collusion. Alas, it was nowhere to be found.
But with her box having been opened we are now free to look for other Pandora goodies. What I’m hearing is that a Susan-Rice-Unmasking gadget has been found by a bunch of nosy GOP Congress Critters.
This is going to be such fun Susan. And Pandora is such a nice gal. You may even become best friends although I doubt that will happen.
“This is OUR government, why is it being run from behind closed doors!!!”....
Although “We, The People” elected those who supposedly represent us, it is THEIR government once they get the titles, our opinions are of little importance as they drift untethered in their political world. We soooooooooo badly need term limits and the power to purge those who refuse to do their jobs.
I don’t see anything except the headline that says it’s going to be private....”meet with committee” - means PRIVATE as opposed to a public hearing?
A bullet? That was a nuke!
Hillary was going to finish the destruction that Obama started. We were in real danger.
POINTS TO PONDER: Hillary was scheduled behind closed doors----but she insisted she testify publicly.....
Chair Trey Gowdy stupidly caved in,,,,.the rest is history.
Hillary escaped all responsibility for Benghazi.....she made herself into a pitiable victim for all to see.
Rice is already claiming sexism and racisom victimhood......imagine what she could do in a public forum.
KEEP RICE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
