WASHINGTON, D.C. (WTXL) - FBI Director James Comey is scheduled to testify before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence today.
He is expected to discuss allegations by wiretapping by President Trump as well as Russia’s influence in the 2016 election.
UPDATE: WASHINGTON (AP) - The Latest on a congressional inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election (all times local):
The chairman of the House intelligence committee says there was no physical wiretap on Trump Tower, but it's possible that "other surveillance activities" were used against President Donald Trump and his associates.
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., is speaking at the opening of the committee's first public hearing on Russia's interference in the 2016 election. He says the committee has seen no evidence to date that officials from any campaign conspired with Russian agents, but will continue to investigate that question.
He also says the committee will investigate who has been leaking classified information about investigations into Russia's interference.
Nunes says he hopes the committee's hearings will result in a "definitive report" on Russia's involvement in the presidential election.
