House Intelligence Committee chair: Russia report leak was a 'political rollout'

The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, a member of President-elect Trump's transition team, sided with Trump on Sunday in criticizing the leak of an intelligence report to the press last week, saying that it appeared to be a political swipe at Trump by the Obama administration.

The release of information about hacks into the Clinton campaign's emails, and intelligence agencies' tying it to Russia "looks like a political roll-out of a narrative just a couple weeks before Donald Trump's inauguration, and it bothers me, and I don't think it's good," said Devin Nunes, a California Republican, in an interview with Fox News' Chris Wallace.
