Speaker Ryan suggests 'malfeasance' at FBI
Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives is now suggesting that some sort of wrong-doing happened at the FBI in the course of the ever-expanding investigations into how Russia meddled in American politics.
The Republicans on the House Intelligence panel have voted to release a memo which suggests abuse of government surveillance power; a move rejected by Democrats on the same committee, who say the memo cherry-picks evidence and is very selective in its analysis.
Adding that special counsel Robert Mueller is a separate investigation that must proceed, Speaker Paul Ryan says they are following the oversight process.
