8 Things We Learned From House Intelligence Committee Chair Nunes About Obama Surveillance on Team Trump

House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) held a press conference in front of the Capitol today and stated that President Obama ordered surveillance on members of President Donald Trump’s team following his electoral victory in November. This continues a weeks-long conversation that started with President Trump tweeting that the Obama administration wiretapped Trump Tower, causing chaos across Washington D.C, and the press.

  1. Trump’s team was not the intended targets of surveillance.
  2. It was completely legal.
  3. Nunes indicated that Russians were likely not involved in these particular interceptions. 
  4. The interceptions occurred after Trump’s election up until his inauguration.
  5. Other than Flynn, we do not know how many members of the transition team were intercepted.
  6. Nunes said the information was likely meaningless.
  7. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) was not informed of this information ahead of Nunes’ press conference.
  8. There is still no evidence that Trump Tower was bugged.

Today, Chairman Nunes shared information with WH still withheld from our committee. He cannot conduct a credible investigation this way.
