House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) will receive a classified briefing on Thursday related to documents pertaining to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) told The Hill that the committee chairmen “are going to get access” to the documents Nunes has demanded in connection to Mueller’s probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Fox News reported that the committee chairmen will visit the Justice Department for the the briefing.
The classified briefing reportedly follows a meeting at the White House on Tuesday between Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, his deputy and White House chief of staff John Kelly.
Nunes has requested and filed a subpoena for heavily classified documents that relate to Mueller’s probe.
However, the Justice Department has been hesitant to comply with his request, warning that turning over the material could risk lives.
