Profound concerns about intelligence investigations - Rep. Schiff

The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee has profound concerns about recent developments, including the New York Times reporting 2 White House officials helped show the chair only certain documents.

The White House has refused to comment on the report and would only confirm that the chairs and ranking members of both Congressional intelligence committees have been invited to view what documents the National Security Council has uncovered.

Representative Adam Schiff, the top Democrat, is worried about what the Trump administration is trying to do, with the sudden invitation to come view possible intelligence.
