Pelosi Calls for Removal of House Intelligence Chair

by Reuters

   WASHINGTON --

   Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday called for the
   removal of Republican Devin Nunes as chairman of the U.S. House of
   Representatives
   Intelligence Committee, citing actions that undermine a federal probe
   into possible collusion between President Donald Trump's presidential
   campaign and Russia.
   Schumer sent House Speaker Paul Ryan a letter "demanding the Speaker
   immediately remove Chairman Devin Nunes from the House Intelligence
   Committee and raising serious questions as to why House Republicans ...
   have not taken credible action to fully address Russia's meddling in
   U.S. elections and prevent future Russian cyber-attacks," Schumer's
   office said in a statement.
   Top House Democratic Nancy Pelosi also on Thursday called for the
   removal of Nunes. The House intelligence committee has voted to release
   a secret memo written by the panel's Republicans that alleges
   anti-Trump bias at the FBI and Justice Department. Ryan has supported
   its release.
