Senator Schumer Calls for Intelligence Committee Chair's Removal

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) urges Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) to remove Representative Devin Nunes (R-CA) as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee following disclosures that he was on the White House grounds examining classified documents showing that the Trump transition team was caught up in "incidental" collection of information by the intelligence community. The following day, Mr. Nunes briefed the president on his findings before informing committee members. Senator Schumer also discusses his willingness to work with President Trump on health care, but urges him to first rescind his executive orders relating to the Affordable Care Act, warning Republicans that they should heed the lessons of what happened with the collapse of their repeal effort. He also discusses the ongoing probe into Russia's hacking of the 2016 election and the nature of ties with the Trump presidential campaign. close
