"It has now come to our attention that Congressman Nunes deliberately and materially altered the contents of the memo since it was voted on by the House Republicans," Pelosi said in a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan. "This action is not only dangerous, it is illegitimate, and violates House rules… Congressman Nunes’ deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as Chairman, and he must be removed immediately from this position."
Pelosi said Nunes abused his position as chairman of the House intelligence committee by launching a cover-up campaign for the White House to discredit investigations into the Trump-Russia scandal.
Schumer in a separate letter called on the House Speaker to remove Nunes and back swift passage of legislation to protect Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Trump’s alleged ties to Russia.
