Story highlights House intelligence ranking member Adam Schiff's accusation marks a turn from just one day ago

The intelligence reports at the White House are at the center of two weeks of chaos

(CNN) The top Democrat on the House Russia investigation, Rep. Adam Schiff, said Wednesday President Donald Trump personally promised documents at the center of "unmasking" allegations would be made available to all members of the House intelligence committee, but that White House staff is fighting those documents' release.

"The President, when I met with him, said that he is happy to have whoever we wanted review the documents. His staff has opposed that, they were opposed to even letting my own staff review the documents, my staff director," Schiff told CNN on Wednesday. "So we're still trying to get those documents for the full committee, we would like the White House's help if they are sincere about wanting to share this information and have the oversight functions performed, they are to be facilitating this."

He added, "But as yet we have not been able to make those documents available to the full committee."

A White House spokesperson said the administration "has made all relevant documents available to Mr. Schiff and the Gang of Eight," referencing the leaders of both parties in both chambers, as well as the intelligence committee chairmen and ranking members in each chamber.

"As the ranking member well knows, for decades the intelligence community has made intelligence reports as sensitive as these documents available only to the Gang of Eight and their cleared staff members," the spokesperson said.
