Nunes refused to say where he got this information, referring only to sources and, amazingly, he then went to the white house to brief the president on what he knew and hold another press conference. Keep in mind, nunes is supposed to be leading the house investigation into Trump Campaigns relationship to russia, not telling the possible subjects of that investigation what he knows.
