House speaker backs release of House panel Democrats' memo

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan supports the release of a rebuttal memo by Democrats on the House Intelligence committee to go along with a controversial Republican one likely to be released soon, his office said on Friday.

“If it is scrubbed to ensure it does not reveal sources and methods of our intelligence gathering, the speaker supports the release of the Democrats’ memo,” Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong said.

He knows Trump has to approve the Democratic memo release and he knows Trump won't do it.

I'm sure Ryan has no problem with the Democrat's rebuttal.
