"WASHINGTON — Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and other Democratic members of the House Intelligence Committee have demanded that the committee’s chairman, Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), recuse himself from investigating potential ties between the Trump administration and the Russian government...Schiff said that while it is “impossible to judge” whether the documents support the idea that Trump surrogates may have been unmasked, what is clear is “there was no legitimate justification for bringing that information to the White House instead of the committee.” “That it was also obtained at the White House makes this departure all the more concerning,” Schiff said. “In the interest of a fair and impartial investigation whose results will be respected by the public, the Chairman’s recusal is more than warranted.” ...Nunes  told reporters Monday evening that he has no intention of stepping down and that calls for him to do so were politically motivated, Voice of America reported."
