Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) suggested at a private fundraiser last week that Republicans have to maintain control of the House in order to protect President Trump, citing special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.

Nunes, speaking at a closed-door event for Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Calif.) last Monday, said that “if [Attorney General Jeff] Sessions won’t unrecuse and Mueller won’t clear the president, we’re the only ones.”

“Which is really the danger … we have to keep all these seats,” he continued. “We have to keep the majority. If we do not keep the majority, all of this goes away.”

The audio was recorded by a member of the progressive group Fuse Washington, which paid to attend the event and provided the audio to MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show. Maddow aired the audio on her show Wednesday night.
