After Democrats strongly objected that a GOP-only intelligence briefing was inappropriate, the Justice Department late Wednesday scheduled a second briefing for bipartisan congressional leaders and the same intelligence officials. Schiff, Nunes, Gowdy and Ryan were all seen arriving at the Justice Department just before the first meeting’s 12 p.m. start time. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr was also invited, as was the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence panel, Sen. Mark Warner. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders had originally said no one from the White House would attend the briefing. And the White House said Kelly would organize the meeting with House lawmakers to discuss the documents.
