Rep. Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.) blasted Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) on Monday for Schumer's criticisms of the House Intelligence Committee chairman.

Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R., Calif.), has been criticized for a trip to the White House he made to go through classified material related to possible surveillance over President Donald Trump during his transition. After Schumer asked Nunes to be removed from his position as chairman, Gowdy went after Schumer, Fox News reports.

"I just love it when Senator Schumer gives Republicans advice on what we ought to do," Gowdy said on Monday. "Devin is doing exactly what the chairman is to do."

"I wish Senator Schumer and some of the other Democrats would be interested in the authenticity and reliability of the underlying data the means by which it was acquired," Gowdy continued.

Gowdy has served on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and was an active watchdog of the Obama administration.
