DOJ Requests More Time To Give Lawmakers Trump Wiretap Evidence
[Daily Caller] The Justice Department asked House intelligence leaders for more time to provide evidence to support President Donald Trump’s claim that former President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower during the election.
The House Intelligence Committee initially gave a deadline of Monday for the DOJ to comply with their request, but said it would grant a one week extension to March 20, the date of the committee’s first open hearing on the investigation into Russia’s influence peddling during the 2016 election.
"If the committee does not receive a response by then, the committee will ask for this information during the March 20 hearing and may resort to a compulsory process if our questions continue to go unanswered," Jack Langer, a spokesman for Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, told the Associated Press.
