- Devin Nunes, the House Intelligence Committee chairman and one of President Donald Trump's most vocal supporters in Congress, is worried about the Republican Party's prospects in the November midterm elections.
- Leaked audio released on Wednesday night features Nunes talking to donors at a Spokane, Washington, fundraiser last week.
- "If we do not keep the majority, all of this goes away," he said.
- Nunes was apparently referring to the political buffer the GOP provides for Trump.
- "If [Jeff] Sessions won't un-recuse, and Mueller won't clear the president, we're the only ones," Nunes said, according to the audio, which first aired publicly on MSNBC Wednesday night.
- Republicans nationwide are facing headwinds going into the midterm elections, due in part to Trump's unpopularity and a steady churn of scandals surrounding the president and his administration.
