1/7 @SenBlumenthal’s twisting of classified briefings and repeating of false news reports is beyond the pale. https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1292022873473855488

2/7 It is a flat-out lie that I received the documents from Ukrainians that Democrats keep claiming. And they know it. It is unconscionable that Democrats and the press continue to report it.

3/7 It is a flat-out lie that I asked for the CIA to brief our committee and that they refused. We’ve already been briefed repeatedly on these issues, Democrats simply didn’t like what they heard.

4/7 Ranking member Peters asked me to arrange an intelligence briefing months ago. We did, and were told there was no new info to brief on.

5/7 That wasn’t enough for Dems to use against us, so they continued to push CIA for info to try to derail our investigation. To my knowledge CIA has not responded to THEIR requests.

6/7 Our investigation is focused on documents and officials from government agencies and a U.S. Democrat-linked lobbying firm.

7/7 The only ones responsible for furthering Russian disinformation to interfere in our election are the Democrats in Congress and the Biden campaign, and the media that is willingly amplifying their lies. They should all be ashamed.
