Paul Ryan Siding with the ‘Deep State,’ GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz Says
about 7 years in Roll Call
GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz fired a shot across Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s bow Wednesday, claiming Ryan was siding with the “deep state,” the FBI, and Justice Department over congressional Republicans trying to conduct oversight on those agencies.
At issue was the speaker’s defense of the FBI earlier in the day for pursuing information from an informant in President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign about Russian interference and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
