Its closed session, going under way in just a little bit. Here on cspan3, we are going to take you live now to a briefing by the house Intelligence Ranking democrat, adam schiff, on an investigation that the committ committees involved. He just came to the podium. In association with the committee, who would share that information with the white house. The committee has still not received the intercepts or other information that the chairman was referring to. And, therefore, it is really impossible for us to evaluate any of the merits of what the chairman has said. But i can say this. The chairman will need to decide whether he is the chairman of an independent investigation into conduct which includes allegations of potential coordination between the Trump Campaign and the russians, or he is going to act as a surrogate of the white house. Because he cannot do both. And unfortunately, i think the actions of today throw great doubt into the ability of both the chairman and the committee

And unfortunately, i think the actions of today throw great doubt into the ability of both the chairman and the committee to conduct the investigation the way it ought to be conducted.
Good evening. I want to make a few comments about the chairman statements today. First called them i think its gravely concerning two members of the committee that the chairman would receive information that is pertinent to the scope of our investigation and instead of sharing the information with the committee, would share that information with the white house. The committee has still not received the intercepts or other information the chairman was referring to and therefore it is really impossible for us to evaluate any of the merits of what the chairman has said. But i can say this. The chairman will need to decide whether he is the chairman of an independent investigation into combat, which includes allegations of potential coordination between the Charm Campaign and the russian 30s going to act as a surrogate of the white house because they cannot do both. Unfortunately, the actions that today throw great doubt into the ability of both the chairman of the committee to conduct the
