When one case closes, another opens.
The House Ethics Committee on Thursday announced that it has determined Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) did not reveal any classified information related to the House investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. A complaint was filed in April after Nunes, who was leading the probe, told reporters he received intelligence reports that included the names of members of the Trump transition team, and thinking this wasn't fair, he briefed President Trump about what he saw. He was criticized and later revealed he received the information at the White House. Nunes said he would step away from leading the investigation but never recused himself, and he has not said if he plans on taking back control of the investigation.
