Were told hell make some remarks about the growing economy, so well certainly keep you updated on that over the next hour. Meanwhile, a new poll out this afternoon shows a majority of americans want an independent investigation of russia. At the same time calls for house intel chair devin nunes to recuse himself from the Investigation Continues to grow. Heres what House Minority leader nancy pelosi told my colleague, joy reid, a little earlier. Do you think he has credibility now . No. As the leader of that investigation . No. I think thought only has he lost all credibility, i think hes tarnished the office that he holds. Hes brought discredit to a very, very serious position in the congress. But House Intel Committee chair devin nunes is standing by his decision to share information that he learned from President Trump. Heres what he told our local affiliate in fresno, catliforni, yesterday. And theyre sayi

So when he says hes going to come forward not just with specific allegations but with evidence about them, we assume thats going to come from the people who hes representing as witnesses. Now, what the senate is going to do with that, what the exact nature of those claims is going to be, we dont know bhch but it does mean between now and now and thursday morning were expecting a lot more news on this subject, which is exactly what the senate does not want.
