Washington, DC -- Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement:
"Reports that the President tried to enlist the NSA Director and Director of National Intelligence in an effort to advance the White House narrative on the Russia investigation, if true, are yet another disturbing allegation that the President was interfering in the FBI probe. If further reports are accurate that White House staff also tried to persuade personnel at these agencies to help get FBI Director Comey to back off an investigation involving Michael Flynn, the specter of possible obstruction has grown larger and more troubling. Congress will need to bring the relevant officials back to testify on these matters, and obtain any memoranda that reflect such conversations."
