Story highlights Lawmakers to convene Monday evening on Russian investigation

Meeting will be the first time the full committee comes together

Washington (CNN) Members of the House intelligence committee met Monday evening as the future of the House's Russia investigation hangs in the balance.

Monday's meeting was the first of the full committee -- Democrats and Republicans -- since the top Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff, called on House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes to recuse himself from the investigation. House investigators did not discuss Russia at Monday's meeting, multiple sources said, but instead plan to talk about it at a separate meeting Tuesday.

The House investigation has been on life support ever since Nunes took a clandestine trip two weeks ago to the White House to review evidence he said shows top aides to President Donald Trump were picked up in intelligence collection.

Last week's bumpy ride for Nunes ended in reports that two top White House staffers coordinated the release of information to him.

"This business is always hard and politics is always hard, but I'm used to that," Nunes said Monday, when asked about Schiff's allegations that he is colluding with the White House. "I don't really listen to what anyone says. I was very clear and transparent with all of you, and the statement still stands -- which is: I had a duty and obligation to go tell the President of the United States."
