Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) tried to discredit the impeachment investigation by falsely claiming that Democrats are seeking nude photos of Trump.
Nunes said, “We should forget about them breeding fabrications of trump/Russian collusion of the steel dossier into the congressional record. We should forget about them trying to obtain nude pictures of trump from Russian prank stars who pretended to be Ukrainian officials. We should forget about them leaking a false story to CNN while he was still testifying claiming that Donald Trump Jr. Was colluding with Wikileaks. And forget about these things with them to hurl preposterous accusations at their political opponents.”

Nunes has floated this claim before during a hearing with the Director of National Intelligence.
There is no evidence that Democrats ever sought naked pictures of Trump. Nunes isn’t helping the Republican cause with this absurd claim. No one in America wants to see naked pictures of Trump, but Nunes’s obsession with Trump’s nude body suggests that he might be deeply interested in naked pictures of the president.
