House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) slammed Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) on Saturday, calling the House Intelligence Committee chairman "dysfunctional" over his handling of the panel's Russia probe.

"What’s very sad about it is it brings dishonor to the whole committee,” Pelosi told MSNBC’s "AM JOY," referring to a "politicized" situation surrounding the committee.

The Democratic leader singled out Nunes for her criticism.

“We are very proud of our Democrats on the committee. We’re very proud of our ranking member, [Rep.] Adam Schiff Adam Bennett SchiffDemocrats, advocates seethe over Florida voting rights ruling DHS asks Schiff to reconsider expanded probe after whistleblower complaint, declines additional interview requests Senate panel seeks documents in probe of DHS whistleblower complaint MORE [D-Calif.]. He’s done a remarkable job," she continued.

"Maybe some of the Republican members have comported themselves very well as well. But not the chairman," Pelosi said, calling Nunes a "dysfunctional chairman."

Democrats have called for Nunes to recuse himself from the intelligence committee, which is investigating Russia's meddling in the 2016 election.

Nunes acknowledged visiting White House grounds last week to view classified documents and meet with an intelligence source, one day before returning to the White House to brief President Trump.

The New York Times on Thursday reported that two White House officials helped Nunes obtain the information, which he said showed that members of Trump’s transition team had been incidentally surveilled.

Schiff, the top Democrat on the committee, visited the White House on Friday and said he saw what was presented as "precisely the same materials" given to Nunes last week.

"Nothing I could see today warranted a departure from the normal review procedures, and these materials should now be provided to the full membership of both committees," he said.
