The House Intelligence Committee will probe Russian interference into the U.S. election in public for the first time during a hearing March 20, committee chair Representative Devin Nunes announced Tuesday.

Among those invited to give public testimony are James Comey, the current director of the FBI who has been at the center of the controversy regarding his involvement in influencing the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails; Mike Rogers, director of the National Security Agency; and John Brennan, former CIA director.

President Donald Trump heightened the firestorm surrounding the Russia investigation when, late last week, he tweeted that phones at his New York high-rise building had been wiretapped at the behest of former President Barack Obama, a charge labeled "simply false" by an Obama spokesman.

"I think it's a valid question — if it was a question. Look at General Flynn — why was he being recorded? Was it incidental like we all assume or was it something else? Was there any other additional recording going on?" Nunes said, noting the House Intelligence Committee planned to looked into the broader issue of phone surveillance during the election even before the White House request.

美国众议院情报委员会主席、共和党议员努内斯星期二宣布，该委员会将于3月20日的听证会上首次公开讨论俄罗斯对去年美国总统选举干预的问题。

应邀在听证会上公开作证的包括美国联邦调查局现任局长詹姆斯·科米，他由于在针对希拉里·克林顿的电子邮件调查中所起的影响而一直是争论的中心，还有国家安全局局长迈克尔·罗杰斯，以及前中央情报局局长约翰·布伦南。
