Paul Ryan backs Nunes in latest dispute with DOJ
House Speaker Paul Ryan is backing House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes in his latest feud with the Justice Department, brushing aside concerns that disclosing certain information could endanger national security and once again blessing his fellow Republican's controversial tactics.
Ryan, who spoke with Nunes this week, argued that his demand for documents related to the Russia investigation is "wholly appropriate" and should be complied with.
"This request is perfectly appropriate, within the scope of the committee's investigation. And I hope and I believe and expect that they will be complied with," Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, said Thursday.
For months, Nunes has been battling with the Justice Department for a range of documents in an attempt to sow doubt about the roots of the Russia investigation. The Justice Department has repeatedly appealed to Ryan to get Nunes to back off, warning his tactics could undercut ongoing investigations. But Ryan has repeatedly sided with his colleague from California, who has ultimately received most of what he's sought.
