House Intelligence Committee to call a long list of witnesses on the Russia-Trump probe. After Devin Nunes recused himself when it became public he was refusing access to classified documents required for the investigation, the committee is now poised to call over three dozen witnesses

The House Russia investigation is not just back on track, it's chugging on -- with an agreed-upon plan to call high-profile witnesses from the campaign of President Donald Trump, new access to intelligence documents and plans to work longer hours in Washington.

"We're working in a bipartisan manner, we're going to be thorough, professional and meticulous," House Russia investigation leader Mike Conaway told CNN on Wednesday. Conaway added that he is in discussions to get access to the top-level intelligence typically reserved for the "Gang of Eight" in Congress, but he declined to elaborate.
Conaway and Rep. Adam Schiff, the lead Democrat on the investigation, met and agreed on a likely witness schedule, culled from a witness list that investigators say includes 3-4 dozen names. Conaway told House intelligence committee members Tuesday that they should plan on spending more time in Washington as the investigation gears up.

It's a complete reversal from just a few weeks ago, when the House Russia investigation was on life support -- the victim of a partisan showdown sparked by House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes' clandestine trip to the White House which ended in his recusal from the investigation amid a House ethics probe.

Nunes' recusal, House Russia investigators said Wednesday, coincided with renewed access to intelligence documents that, they said, were denied to them during the three weeks that followed Nunes' trip to the White House.
