Two Trump Administration Staffers Briefed Representative Devin Nunes

White House Lawyer Michael Ellis

The identity of two White House staffers, who briefed Representative Devin Nunes about references to Trump and Trump administration members in security documents, was released today by the New York Times.

White House lawyer Michael Ellis, also a Special Assistant to the President, was named, along with Ezra Cohen-Watnick,  Senior Director of Intelligence at the National Security Council.

Apparently, Representative Nunes, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, charged with investigating coordination between Russian officials and the Trump campaign, lied about not being briefed by White House staffers.  Nunes joins other Trump administration liars about Russian connections, including Attorney General Jeff Sessions and fired former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
