New (WTF): Devin Nunes continues reviewing Russia intelligence, despite recusal

Devin Nunes continues reviewing Russia intelligence, despite recusal

(CNN)The former head of the House Russia investigation, Rep. Devin Nunes, is continuing to review intelligence relating to Russia, a move that has Democrats grumbling that he has violated the spirit of his recusal.

Nunes, a California Republican, took a trip to the CIA this week to review Russia intelligence, according to House intelligence committee sources. As word of Nunes trip trickled out among lawmakers this week, it angered Democrats who thought that they had moved past the chaos spurred by Nunes' coordination with the White House.

Rep. Mike Quigley, an Illinois Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, shrugged when asked if he was concerned that Nunes had not completely removed himself from the House Russia investigation.

Since then, Nunes has attended briefings and has retained his spot on the "Gang of Eight" -- a select group including the top Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate and on the intelligence committees. Nunes' perch on the "Gang of Eight" has given him greater access to intelligence than every other House Russia investigator except Schiff, who is also on the "Gang of Eight."

Schiff declined comment for this article.
