First Republican Congressman Calls For Nunes To Recuse Himself
Republican Congressman Walter Jones on Tuesday became the first Republican member of Congress calling for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes to recuse himself from the Intel Committee’s Russia investigation.
Congressman Jones told the Hill that Nunes should “absolutely” recuse himself.
“How can you be chairman of a major committee and do all these things behind the scenes and keep your credibility? You can’t keep your credibility,”
“If anything has shown that we need a commission, this has done it by the way he has acted. That’s the only way you can bring integrity to the process. The integrity of the committee looking into this has been tainted.”
Jones said. Jones is a member of the House Armed Services Committee and is known for breaking with Republican leadership.
