Trump Falsely Claims Susan Rice Committed a Crime by Unmasking Intel
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Nunes's recusal came after President Trump told The New York Times
Wednesday-without evidence-that former National Security Adviser Susan
Rice committed a crime when she unmasked the names of Trump associates
whose communications were swept up by U.S. intelligence agencies. At the
time, Rice had the authority to internally reveal such names. Rice has
denied leaking the names of any Trump associates, and there's no
evidence she violated U.S. surveillance laws.
