Nunes, Gowdy invited to DOJ for classified briefing after document demands
Rep. Nunes says he will push to hold Sessions in contempt
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes says on 'Fox & Friends' that he plans to press for holding Jeff Sessions in contempt over the DOJ's failure to provide information to Congress.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes and House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy have been invited to the Justice Department Thursday for a classified briefing about Nunes' latest requests for classified information related to the Russia investigation, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
Fox News has learned this is a direct result of a meeting at the White House on Tuesday between Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, his deputy Ed O'Callahan and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.
Rosenstein had been on official travel in New York but raced back to Washington for the meeting.
A source familiar with the situation tells Fox News that after the meeting the three held a speakerphone call with Nunes and Gowdy and told the lawmakers the DOJ would work with them in an effort to get them the information they have been seeking.
