House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) remains under fire for his controversial meeting with an informant on White House grounds. Nunes claimed that he needed to go to the White House to use their Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF); the House Intelligence Committee has their own. Nunes canceled committee meetings following calls from Democrats and members of the media either to recuse himself from the Trump-Russia investigations or to resign from his post. In addition, the Democrats said they have not seen new information indicating that the Obama administration incidentally wiretapped members of President Trump transition team prior to his inauguration.

According to Bradd Jaffy of NBC News, Nunes told a reporter that the Democrats do not seem serious about the investigation into possible ties between the Kremlin and President Trump's team.

Nunes said that the Democrats have not looked at any of the new information that Nunes provided after his press conference a week ago today. Furthermore, he stated that he will continue investigating these possible ties without the Democrats' help while Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and other Democrats continue to call for his recusal. In addition, Nunes indicates that the Democrats have withheld information they believe could put Trump's feet to the fire.

If Nunes is telling the truth, then this demonstrates that the Democrats are also responsible for stonewalling the Trump-Russia investigation that both parties and the majority of Americans have called for. As of now, evidence that could implicate Trump in directly working with the Russians during the election remains circumstantial if not non-existent.

That does not mean that Nunes should not receive scrutiny for his meeting on White House grounds.
