House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) has been teasing that he may drop more controversial memos alleging government abuses — and there may be as many as five.
Axios reported on Sunday that sources close to Nunes' investigations believe there may be as many as five more memos in the works, and may include journalists Sidney Blumenthal and Cody Shearer, both known associates to the Clinton family, as having colluded with the government to swing the election in favor of Hillary Clinton.
"There are several areas of concern where federal agencies used government resources to try to create a narrative and influence the election," a Republican congressperson briefed on Nunes' investigation told Axios. "Some have suggested coordination with Hillary Clinton operatives, Blumenthal and Shearer, to back up the false narrative."
Shearer is the author of a second dossier alleging collusion between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the Russian government, and along with Blumenthal has already become a right-wing talking point as a potential operative working to influence the election in Clinton's favor.
