House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith (D-Wash.) said Saturday that it is “likely” that top House Intelligence Republican Devin Nunes (Calif.) will face an ethics probe due to accusations that he met with a former Ukrainian prosecutor who is central to the impeachment inquiry.
Asked in an MSNBC interview whether Nunes could be investigated, Smith said: “Quite likely, without question.”
An attorney for Lev Parnas, an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani, told CNN a Ukrainian official informed his client that Nunes met with former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Shokin last December in an attempt to find dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden.
Nunes told Breitbart that the accusation was “demonstrably false” and has threatened legal action.
“I understand a lot of this is about Joe Biden, but the bigger thing is about what President Trump and the Russians and all these people have been doing … is a systematic problem that is a threat to the country because of what Russia is doing to democracy,” Smith told MSNBC.
