Trump furious after Schiff hires former NSC aides to help oversee his administration

Source: CNN


Washington (CNN) — House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff has hired officials with experience at the National Security Council to help with his panel's oversight of President Donald Trump's administration, according to a committee aide.

The aide declined to say how recently the newly hired officials worked at the council, whether they served under Trump or to identify the individuals. But the move appears to have enraged the President and some members of his senior staff, who view the move as an intrusion. It comes as Democrats prepare to wield new investigative power after winning a House majority in 2018.

Trump fumed on Twitter Thursday about the recently launched investigations led by the Democratic intelligence chair and suggested he was raiding the White House staff.

Is there a waking hour that goes by that he isn't furious about something? I guess when you are a narcissistic egomaniac it doesn't take much to send you into a blind rage.

You threatened war if investigations were not ended.

Be careful what you wish for, Trump.

complicit Republicans is over. Democrats now in majority will uphold their Constitutional obligations. They will not abrogate their responsibilities as Republicans shamelessly did. Country and Constitution will come before Party.

I'm so glad he's the Chairman of that Committee. I can tell he's been waiting a long time to investigate these things.
