The FBI memo continued to be a big issue in the media. President Trump and his administration had claimed the memo could vindicate him.
Vice President Mike Pence thought the memo raised serious questions. He believed that the FBI acted in a way that brought their integrity into question.
He promised that there would be transparency when dealing with the memo, citing that he had the opportunity to see it.
The memo’s release had created a rift between the White House and Justice Department. Trump was very happy to sign off on the memo’s release without any knowledge of what was in it.
Pence Say
“I’ve had a chance to see the memo and our administration believes the memo raises serious concerns about the integrity of decisions that were made at the highest level of the Department of Justice and the FBI,” Pence said. “We’re going to continue to work with Congress to practice transparency, to get all this information out before the American people.”
“This president has made clear: We have great respect for the rank and file men and women of law enforcement in our Justice Department and the FBI who serve every day,” the Vice President said.
