Swalwell Issues Statement on Nunes’ Recusal from Investigation of Russia’s Election Interference

April 6, 2017

WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-15), the Ranking Member of the CIA Subcommittee of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, issued the following statement Thursday:

"It was the right call for Chairman Nunes to step aside from the Intelligence Committee's investigation into Russia's election interference. We have a serious responsibility to find out what happened, whether any US persons were involved, and how to prevent this from happening again. We now have a chance to reclaim our committee's independence, credibility, and ability to make progress. I look forward to continuing this important work."
