House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes said Sunday he will be pushing to hold Attorney General Jeff Sessions in contempt this week for not complying with a subpoena.
The California Republican said his committee sent a letter requesting classified information regarding its probe into FISA abuses and counterintelligence investigations, including the targeting of Americans like former Trump campaign official Carter Page, but it was ignored.
After attempting to subpoena the classified information last week, Mr. Nunes discovered the Justice Department will not comply.
“We have to move quickly to hold the Attorney General of the United States in contempt and that’s what I want to press for this week,” Mr. Nunes told Fox News on Sunday.
The next step will be going to court to try to enforce the committee’s subpoena.
Mr. Nunes said he refuses to take the excuse that handing over the information would harm national security.
“How many times have we heard that argument?” he said. “This just can’t continue where we don’t get information in a timely manner.”

Get it DONE.
Sessions is a candy a$$ using every excuse in the book to get out of real true work he's hired to do.
Have to include his second in charge since he recused himself. That is the one who is refusing everything.
I I I do not recall. I would be surprised if he doesnt wear slip on or velcro shoes because he forgot how to tie them. He is such a snake he needs to go.
