Two members of the House Intelligence Committee traded barbs Sunday over the extent of Russia's involvement in election-year hacks, with Rep. Peter King even calling for CIA Director John Brennan to be investigated for a "hit job" against Donald Trump.

"There should be an investigation of what the Russians did, but also John Brennan and the hit job he seems to be orchestrating against the president-elect," the Republican congressman from New York said on ABC's "This Week."


Brennan, in a memo to agency workforce Friday, said there's a "strong consensus" among himself, FBI Director James Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper "on the scope, nature, and intent of Russian interference in our presidential election."

Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the committee's ranking Democrat, said on the same ABC show that intelligence officials have concrete evidence that Russian hackers were trying to help Trump win.

"I do think there's a consensus among the top leadership in the intelligence community, not only of who was responsible, but why," Schiff said. "And I think when the review is released by the administration within the next two or three weeks, I think the American people will see that."

King said it's clear that Russians hacked the Democratic National Committee but was not convinced they were involved in the hacking of Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta's private Gmail account.

"What we've been told all along is that it was virtually definite that the Russians did hack the Democratic National Committee. I'm willing to accept that. I have no reason not to," King said. "But as far as John Podesta, it was uncertain whether or not that could be directly traced to the Russians. And I haven't seen anything since then."
