“I can tell you that nobody was ever interested in an informant,” Nunes asserted. “We asked for specific documents that we still have not received from the Department of Justice. So they continue to leak out things about this informant and we don’t know if there is one informant of more informants because there’s so much out there now.”

The California congressman added that he is still working on uncovering the role of the Steele dossier in the DOJ obtaining FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign.

“We have a right to get the information,” he said. “If James Comey and many others and people who are currently at the Department of Justice today continue to say there’s nothing to see here — well, if there’s nothing to see here, show us the documents we’re asking for.”
