Rep. Devin Nunes sent a letter to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff demanding he provide a closed-door testimony on his conversations with the whistleblower whose complaint launched impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
Nunes, the highest-ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said Schiff, who has held all hearings in the early process of impeachment, must disclose his own involvement with the whistleblower behind closed doors.
"On November 6th, you announced the beginning of public hearings associated with the Democratic Party's partisan impeachment inquiry into President Donald J. Trump," Nunes said in a Friday letter. "Based on the precedent and lack of jurisdiction, the House Intelligence Committee should not take the lead in conducting such hearings; however, by now the American people know your desire to see the duly-elected president removed from office outweighs your sense of responsibility to running a functioning intelligence oversight committee."
He added, "Prior to the start of your public show trial next week, at least one additional closed-door deposition must take place. Specifically, I request that you sit for a closed-door deposition before the House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs and Oversight Committees."

The American people want answers. He should be forced to tell all and be forced off of the
House intelligence committee. Especially as Chair. He is already a proven liar.
He will say no. Republicans will cry and nothing will happen. As usual.
This dumbocrat corruption is going very deep.
Such damage the Democrats inflict on the U.S. Voters need to drum them out.
Folks, I hate to break this to you but we are way past the whistle blower in case you have not noticed.
