The chairmen of two powerful congressional committees say people high up in the Department of Justice have mounted attacks on a congressional staffer who is aiding an investigation into the department’s misconduct in spying on the Trump campaign.

“Attacking staffers, planting false stories, and endangering national security by leaking sensitive information to the press, including information about intelligence sources—this is what the DOJ is doing, and this why trust in the DOJ is rapidly eroding in Congress,” said Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the chairman of the House intelligence committee, Fox News reported.
