House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes and House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy have been invited to the Justice Department Thursday for a classified briefing about Nunes' latest requests for classified information related to the Russia investigation, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Fox News has learned this is a direct result of a meeting at the White House on Tuesday between Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, his deputy Ed O'Callahan and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. But is not clear exactly what information Nunes is seeking. Things have been tense in recent weeks between Nunes and the Justice Department, with Nunes at one point threatening to hold Attorney General Jeff Sessions in contempt. The Justice Department, though, has previously told Nunes in a letter that it "is not in a position to provide information responsive to your request regarding a specific individual."
