Dem Rep: Nunes Acting 'Aggressive,' 'Unusual'

Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) said during an interview early Wednesday that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes's (R-Calif.) behavior has been aggressive and unusual in recent days.
A lot of us have a lot of history with Chairman Nunes and consider him a friend, but until we really get a read into whatever drove last weeks behavior, its really hard for us, along with the rest of the American public, not to make some assumptions about what is driving this very strange behavior, Himes said on CNNs New Day.
Himes, a House Intelligence Committee member, added that the panels functions have stalled since Nunes said there was incidental intelligence surveillance of President Trumps transition team last week.
Weve just been completely frozen, he told host Alisyn Camerota. "Theres been no communication. We need to understand exactly what happened. We need to be made comfortable.
