WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Biggs released the following statement on the budget caps deal announced in the U.S. Senate yesterday:

"I am disgusted by our unconditional surrender on the budget caps deal.

We were given the House, the Senate, and the White House to find some way to accomplish our promises.

GILBERT, ARIZONA – Today, President Donald Trump declassified the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) memo outlining FISA abuses by the Obama administration. Congressman Andy Biggs released the following statement:

"In a time when Americans need to know that they can trust the government, it is ironic that our top law enforcement officials seek to protect their own from indications of corruption. The men and women who constitute the rank-and-file of the Department of Justice and the FBI are doing a wonderful job. Their credibility must not be undermined by protecting those who have attempted to manipulate our laws. Americans must be given the opportunity to see the memorandum without exactions or redactions. They must know who has betrayed our trust."
