Rep. Nunes apologizes for Trump briefing

Representative Devin Nunes has reportedly apologized to the House Intelligence Committee for briefing U.S. President Donald Trump on incidental intelligence gathering, but he continues to insist the President needed to know.

Leader of the House Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, thinks Representative Nunes made a very stupid mistake.
