House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) asked the top congressional law enforcement official to “take action” after Republican lawmakers brought in electronic devices to a secure facility as a witness was under deposition during the impeachment inquiry.

Thompson alleged that Republicans’ decision to bring phones into the sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) violated intelligence community protocols to protect classified information.
