Maybe they can share a cell? Trump praises Nunes as 'courageous' during CIA ceremony



President Trump on Monday morning lauded House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) as "a very courageous man" during his remarks at the swearing-in of CIA Director Gina Haspel.

"A very courageous man — he's courageous," Trump said. "Thank you very much, Devin, for being here, appreciate it."

Nunes is in a tense standoff with the Justice Department over documents related to the opening of the counterintelligence investigation into Russian meddling in the U.S. election — a request that Trump has backed but senior intelligence officials have warned could endanger lives.

A subpoena from Nunes for the documents last week — with which the department has not yet complied — led to the revelation that the FBI had used a confidential informant to investigate the Trump campaign's contacts with Russia during the election.
