Rep. Gaetz Calls on President Trump to Release Intel Memo During SOTU
Michael Chapman reports at CNSNews.com:
House Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who is a strong advocate for releasing the intelligence memo about alleged malfeasance at the FBI, called on President Donald Trump to release the four-page document during his State of the Union speech this evening, Jan. 30.
On Monday, Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee voted to release the memo. No Democrats voted for its release. President Trump has five days to review the document and decide whether he wants it distributed to the public. Trump has said he would like to see the document released.
"Tomorrow, the President of the United States will walk down the center aisle and address this floor," Gaetz said yesterday on the House floor during a special session, Chapman reports.
"I hope the first thing he does is hand to the Speaker of the House his consent and his agreement to allow transparency to reign, to declassify this memo, and put it before the American people," Gaetz continued, according to CNS.
"And then let's have a great debate about its consequences and the opportunity it presents to make things better, so these things never happen again," Gaetz said.
