Trump Says Democrats Are to Blame for His Decision Not to Release Very Political Memo
President Donald Trump, not surprisingly, thinks it’s someone else’s fault he refused to release the classified memo that amounted to a Democratic response to the Republican classified memo that the commander in chief approved for release last week. Trump said House Democrats were to blame for his refusal to release their “very political” response, theorizing that their plan was to have the president release a “heavily redacted” document so that they could then accuse him of lacking transparency. Trump said he “told them to re-do and send back in proper form!”
The president’s explanation came hours after he blocked the release of the memo by including a letter from FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein that identified information “for which national security or law enforcement concerns are especially significant.”
Democrats were not buying the explanation with Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee highlighting the hypocrisy of having approved the Republican memo but then rejecting the response. “After ignoring urging of FBI & DOJ not to release misleading Nunes memo because it omits material facts, @POTUS now expresses concerns over sharing precisely those facts with public,” Schiff wrote on Twitter.
