Democrats "completely destroyed" the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department, said Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif.
"We’re not going to be threatened by the Democrats. They’re the ones that have all this blood on their hands," Nunes said on Fox News' "Ingraham Angle."
"They’re the ones who have completely destroyed the FBI and DOJ. How did they do that? They did that by digging up dirt—the (Hillary) Clinton campaign dug up dirt, put it into a dossier and fed it into the FBI. And the FBI used our counterintelligence capabilities against a political campaign. That’s what’s happened here," Nunes said in the Monday interview.
"The Democrats in the House and the Senate — they continue to want to obfuscate. They continue to want to cover up," Nunes said in the Monday interview.
Nunes, the House Intelligence Committee chairman, said he is working to uncover the truth about allegations of intelligence abuse by Democrats.
"If we listened to the Democrats, we would have never found out Hillary Clinton, and the Democrats paid Christopher Steele to generate this dirt on President Trump. So I tend to ignore everything they say. We continue to do our work every day, day in and day out, to get to the truth. And gradually we’re getting to the truth. And I believe as these hearings take place and testimony is given to the Congress, I think it will be a much-needed sunlight in this investigation. I think the American people are being deceived — who is telling the truth, and who is not telling the truth," Nunes said in the "Ingraham Angle" interview.
The congressman is calling for 17 current and former Justice Department and FBI officials to testify before the House Intelligence Committee about any information they might possess about the issues.
