His tweeted, unsupported allegations of a wiretap on Trump Tower are the main problem as members of the House Judiciary Committee try to determine whether the FBI is investigating possible Russian interference in the 2016 election.

It will provide a rare chance for lawmakers to grill the FBI director and other officials in a public setting on the allegations that Russia intervened in the campaign in an attempt to tilt it toward Trump."
Thanks to John Arthur, who said that out of the many news reports coming out, he finds this one most significant at the moment.
