The Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said Wednesday that his staff is looking into allegations that U.S. spies collected communications between the Israeli government and members of Congress.
The announcement from Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) follows a report in the Wall Street Journal that the U.S. government spied on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the foreign leader attempted to undermine support in Congress for President Barack Obama's nuclear deal with Iran. The report is adding new fuel to the long-running political debate over NSA surveillance.
The spying revelations rip the lid off this spring's intense trench warfare between the White House and the Israeli government over congressional support for the Iran deal.
As Netanyahu fought to secure congressional votes against the president's deal, the White House stayed one step ahead with the help of NSA eavesdropping.
