Mueller Probes an Event With Nunes, Flynn, and Foreign Officials at Trumps D.C. Hotel
Devin Nunes has been a pitbull for the president, growling at the prosecutors investigating Trumpworld. Now an event that Nunes himself attended is under Muellers microscope.
The Special Counsels Office and federal prosecutors in Manhattan are scrutinizing a meeting involving former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, one-time National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, and dozens of foreign officials, according to three sources familiar with the investigations.
The breakfast event, which was first reported by The Daily Sabah, a pro-government Turkish paper, took place at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. at 8.30 a.m. on Jan. 18, 2017two days before President Donald Trumps inauguration. About 60 people were invited, including diplomats from governments around the world, according to those same sources.
The breakfast has come under scrutiny by federal prosecutors in Manhattan as part of their probe into whether the Trump inaugural committee misspent funds and if donors tried to buy influence in the White House. The existence of that probe was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The Special Counsels Office is also looking at the breakfast as part of its investigation into whether foreigners contributed money to the Trump inaugural fund and PAC by possibly using American intermediaries, as first reported by The New York Times. Robert Muellers team has asked Flynn about the event, according to two sources familiar with the Special Counsels Office questioning.
Nunes, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing, has been perhaps Trumps most important congressional ally over the last two years. After serving on Trumps transition team, Nunes became a vigorous defender of the president against federal and congressional inquiries. The California Republican pushed a misleading memo alleging misconduct in the FBI investigation of Trumps associates that the bureau said contained material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memos accuracy.
Now Nunesa key figure behind the right-wing counter narrative that Trump is at the mercy of a Deep State conspiracyfinds at least one meeting that he himself attended under the special counsels scrutiny.
