Sarah sanders also said, quote, it was also agreed that white house Chief Of Staff kelly will immediately set up a meeting with the fbi, doj and dni together with congressional leaders to review highly classified and other information they have requested. The claim of a spy within the Trump Campaign comes with as of yet little or nothing to back it up and plenty to raise suspic n suspicions about its validity, including someone the president went out of his way to praise today. And a very courageous man, hes courageous, congressman devin nunes. Thank you very much, devin, for being here, appreciate it. He is the chairman of the house Intelligence Committee.
