The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee on Friday said his panel is "satisfied" with the information the Justice Department handed over regarding President Trump's unfounded claim that he and his aides were wiretapped by President Obama.
"The Committee is satisfied that the Department of Justice has fully complied with our request for information from our March 8 letter on possible surveillance related to Donald Trump or his associates," Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said in a statement.
The House and Senate intelligence panels had given the Justice Department until Monday to turn over information about Trump's allegation that former President Barack Obama ordered surveillance of his 2016 election campaign.
It wasn't immediately clear what information was turned over to the committees, though Nunes told CNN's Manu Raju that he did not believe it would back up Trump's wiretapping accusation.
Nunes said that the committee is still waiting for information from the FBI and CIA "that is necessary to determine whether information collected on U.S. persons was mishandled and leaked."
The National Security Agency, he said, has "partially met" the request, but would fully comply by the end of next week.
