House intel panel chief Nunes says he will 'never' divulge his sources to rest of committee

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said on Tuesday he will not divulge - even to other members of his panel - who gave him intelligence reports that indicated President Donald Trump and his associates may have been ensnared in incidental intelligence collection.

Asked by an ABC News reporter whether he would inform the other committee members about who gave him the reports he viewed on the White House grounds last week, Nunes said: "We will never reveal those sources and methods."

Nunes also on Tuesday scrapped two high-profile events previously set to take place. He first canceled a hearing in which former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates was scheduled to testify about her short stint in the Trump White House. He was also supposed to meet with NSA head Mike Rogers FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday, but that was postponed, too.

Yates in January reportedly warned the Trump administration that former national security adviser Michael Flynn might have been compromised by Russian officials. Flynn was later forced to resign for hiding contact with Russian agents from Vice President Mike Pence.

Yates was eventually let go by the Trump administration for refusing to enforce the first edition of his controversial travel ban.
