Trump Russia story is a hoax. #MAGA!” Trump wrote in two tweets Monday night, using a hashtag for his campaign slogan, "Make American Great Again."

The messages come amid a news cycle focused on the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who is under fire for briefing Trump about classified material he reviewed last week without sharing the information with committee Democrats.

The storm surrounding Chairman Devin Nunes Devin Gerald NunesSunday shows preview: With less than two months to go, race for the White House heats up Sunday shows preview: Republicans gear up for national convention, USPS debate continues in Washington Sunday shows preview: White House, congressional Democrats unable to breach stalemate over coronavirus relief MORE (R-Calif.) intensified Monday after it was revealed that he secretly visited the White House grounds one day before announcing incidental surveillance of Trump’s transition team.

His visit raised questions about whether the White House could have been the source of the intelligence Nunes reviewed. Democratic lawmakers have now called on Nunes to recuse himself from the committee’s probe into Russia’s interference in the U.S. presidential election.

Nunes’s communications director on Monday evening said the chairman would not step aside from the investigation.

The congressman has claimed that his findings had no relevance to the Russia probe, even as the committee examines the unmasking and leaking of surveillance information as part of that investigation.

Trump also tweeted about the far-right House Freedom Caucus snatching "defeat from the jaws of victory" — presumably a reference to the failure of the House to pass a bill last week repealing and replacing ObamaCare.

That echoed a Sunday tweet in which he said the Freedom Caucus, along with the Club for Growth and Heritage Action for America, had “saved” Planned Parenthood and ObamaCare.
