House Intel Committee Chair Devin Nunes is demanding that 17 current and former FBI or Justice Department officials testify about possible government surveillance abuse during the 2016 election, otherwise known as ‘Obamagate.’
The list includes former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe and FBI official Peter Strzok.
In a letter obtained by Fox News, Nunes asks that both the Oversight and Judiciary Committees push for face to face interviews with these officials on the grounds that they likely “have relevant information.”
