Conservatives leery of FBI deal on informant

Republicans on Capitol Hill are wary of a deal struck by President Trump that allows for unspecified access to documents related to the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) will meet Thursday with senior Justice Department, FBI and intelligence officials to hash out the details, according to White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
