Rep. Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, held a presser this morning to hit back at some of the false claims coming out of the news media regarding Trump and Russia.
In this first one, a reporter suggests he’s compromised because he spoke to a reporter the White House suggested he speak to:
