WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House has ordered that a wider group of lawmakers have access to classified information about an informant the FBI used to investigate possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, the New York Times reported on Thursday, citing two American officials with knowledge of the decision.
The White House order to allow all members of the House and Senate intelligence committees to see the classified documents - rather than a smaller group of lawmakers known as the "Gang of Eight" - was made despite concerns by intelligence and law enforcement officials that the move could lead to leaks, the Times said.
