WASHINGTON _ Rep. Devin Nunes hammered two of President Donald Trump's favorite targets at Tuesday morning's impeachment hearing: the media and the unidentified whistleblower who thrust the president's July phone call with the Ukrainian president into the national spotlight.
Nunes, R-Calif., used almost the entirety of his opening statement for the testimonies of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, director for European affairs for the National Security Council, and Jennifer Williams, a special adviser to Vice President Mike Pence overseeing Ukraine issues, to sharply criticize the media.
Nunes said most media outlets are the "puppets" of Democrats, and Democrats are media's "masters."
