On March 9, 2016, FBI director James Comey met with eight members of Congress who have been granted security access to the deepest levels of national intelligence.

The group, nicknamed the “Gang of Eight,” includes names both familiar and unfamiliar to citizens, including Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Richard Burr and Mark Warner, Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Devin Nunes, and the aforementioned congressman Adam Schiff.

Throughout 2016, Comey gained public notoriety for his involvement in the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server for national security purposes.
