Devin Nunes breaks with Trump, welcomes DOJ inspector general investigation into FISA abuse allegations
by Daniel Chaitin | Mar 3, 2018, 12:28 PM

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., broke with President Trump and said he welcomes Attorney General Jeff Sessions' announcement that the Justice Department's inspector general would investigate alleged abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

"I was happy to see Attorney General Jeff Sessions appoint Mr. [Michael] Horowitz, because we welcome more people investigating these serious issues that we're working on," Nunes said in a phone interview Saturday on Fox News.

Nunes' opinion clashes with that of Trump, who last week tweeted that Sessions was wrong to have the inspector general in charge of the probe looking into the Obama administration possibly abusing its surveillance authority to spy on a former member of his campaign, Carter Page.

"Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the Inspector General to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse," Trump tweeted. "Will take forever, has no prosecutorial power and already late with reports on [former FBI Director James] Comey etc. Isn’t the I.G. an Obama guy? Why not use Justice Department lawyers? DISGRACEFUL!"

Fox News host Neil Cavuto mentioned Trump's protests, asking Nunes if he has confidence in Horowitz.

Is Horowitz an honest player, or is he merely another one that will act to delay, disrupt Trump?

Is Sessions up to the job, or over his head?

Horowitz and his team recovered the missing Strzok/Page texts for those wondering about his integrity.
