Adams Condemns Release of Misleading Nunes Memo

Washington, D.C.—Today, Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) released the following statement after President Trump released a partisan, misleading intelligence memo authored by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (CA-22). Earlier this week, the public learned that Chairman Nunes altered the memo from the version that was voted on in the House Intelligence Committee before giving it to President Trump.

"Despite vocal opposition from officials at the FBI and Department of Justice, President Trump conspired with Chairman Nunes to release this partisan and misleading memo to the public in an attempt to undermine Special Prosecutor Mueller's investigation," said Congresswoman Adams. "This dishonest action threatens the public confidence in our nation's law enforcement and calls into question President Trump's motives. Chairman Nunes has proven that he is incapable of taking his job seriously and he must be removed from the House Intelligence Committee immediately."
