West Palm Beach, FL – Today, Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-21) issued the following statement after President Trump and the House Intelligence Committee Republicans released a classified memo containing information related to the Russia investigation:

“This is a deliberate and desperate effort by Donald Trump and the Republicans to undermine Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russia’s interference with our election and possible obstruction of justice by White House officials. Not only has the FBI expressed grave concerns about the memo's accuracy, but Justice Department officials believe its release endangers our national security. Republican efforts hands yet another win to Vladimir Putin. The Democrats' memo must be released so that the public can get to the truth.”
