HOYER indicates that the White House briefing was not led by intel personnel.

He said officials described "different judgments as to the level of credibility." None agreed with Trump assessment of a "hoax" he said.
SCHIFF: "The right people to give the briefing really were not in the room."

He says intel agency heads should be there.
Schiff says House Intel Committee is asking for an in-person briefing form intel officials as well as underlying documents. On Putin:

"Many of us do not understand [Trump's] affinity for that autocratic ruler who wishes our nation ill."

"This will address the defendant’s stated medical concerns during the current increase of reported cases in Florida, and Broward County in particular, and it will respect and protect the health of other inmates who share defendant’s anxiety." Jackson said.

GOHMERT is repeatedly tapping on his desk to disrupt opening statement of Donald Ayer because he's gone over his time limit.
ZELINSKY disagrees with rep. CHABOT suggestion that Muller team was biased. He says politics did not figure into appointments.

"If the special counsel had tried to weigh the politics of the prosecutors as he was choosing them, that would have been more problematic."
As hearing opened, BARR agreed to testify on July 28, ending (for now) the prospect of an imminent subpoena for his testimony.
