Air Force JAG congressman nails Trump: An innocent person would not block the memo
Rep. Ted Lieu, who has read the Democratic memo that Trump refused to release Friday night, says he is "convinced [Trump] is now intentionally hiding relevant information from the American people in order to mislead the public."

The move raises a host of questions about Donald Trumps motives for declassifying the intelligence in the Republican memo but refusing to do so for the Democratic version of the memo, despite a unanimous vote by the bipartisan House Intelligence Committee in favor of publishing the second memo.
Among those questioning Trumps intentions is Ted Lieu (D-CA), a former Air Force JAG officer and current member of the House Judiciary Committee.
In a tweet posted just minutes after the White House announced its decision to block the Democratic memo from public view, Lieu slammed the move as outrageous and said hes now convinced [Trump] is intentionally hiding relevant information from the American people in order to mislead the public.
An innocent person would not block the memo, Lieu added. -
