Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), a member of the House Intelligence Committee's Russia investigation, speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington on Jan. 16. Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) sent a letter late Wednesday to Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), accusing him of “deliberately misleading” the committee. Schiff demanded that Nunes withdraw the version he sent to the White House because “there is no longer a valid basis for the White House to review the altered documents” and approve their public release. Schiff and Nunes have been bitterly divided over the memo, which the House Intelligence Committee voted along party lines Monday to release to the public, provided Trump does not block the move. Before Democrats identified the “material changes” they allege Nunes made to the memo, they were already accusing Republicans of coordinating with the White House to publicize it.
