Washington, April 27, 2018 – House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes issued the following statement today: “The Intelligence Community has finished its declassification review of the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia investigation final report. Given the substantial public interest at stake, the Committee is publishing the redacted version we’ve received. However, we object to the excessive and unjustified number of redactions, many of which do not relate to classified information. The Committee will convey our objections to the appropriate agencies and looks forward to publishing a less redacted version in the near future.”
- The report is available here and here.
- CNBC – The House Intelligence Committee ended its probe of the 2016 election, saying it found no evidence of collusion between candidate Trump and Russia. The committee is led by Rep. Devin Nunes, one of Trump’s closest supporters in the House
- The House Intelligence Committee report on Russia doesn’t change these 5 facts/CNN: 1) This is a finding of only the Republicans on the committee; 2) The Senate Intelligence Committee investigation continues; 3) The Intelligence Community has unanimously concluded Russia meddled to help Trump; 4) Republicans are shaky on whether Russia wanted Trump to win; 5) The Mueller investigation just keeps chugging.
- Wired – “…The committee’s Democrats argue that the investigation was not carried out in good faith. Their Republican counterparts don’t dispute that Moscow wanted to influence the election, but say they couldn’t find direct evidence that Putin helped Trump win. The question, though, is whether they really tried to look.
- Washington Post – Comey calls House Intelligence Committee’s Russia investigation ‘a wreck’ – “On “Meet the Press,” the former FBI chief criticized the panel’s report as a “political document.” While the president has praised the report, Democrats released a rebuttal and charged that their Republican colleagues ended their work prematurely.”
