Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich accused FBI Director Christopher Wray Thursday of being in "Open rebellion" against President Donald Trump - by opposing release of the controversial memo detailing surveillance abuses and anti-Trump bias within the Justice Department.
"If you want an example of the deep state, you apparently had the head of the FBI go to the White House with the deputy attorney general, make his case to the White House - they are his superiors in the executive branch - and get turned down," Gingrich said.
"You have the director of the FBI putting out a release attacking the president for what the president apparently has decided to do because he didn't listen to the head of the FBI," Gingrich continued.
Although Trump reportedly plans to approve the document's release, Wray urged Trump to withhold it, and then approved a statement claiming the FBI "Was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo" and harbored "Grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy."
Wray reportedly is prepared to release a rebuttal if Trump chooses to approve the memo's release.
Gingrich noted the media harbored a markedly different opinion when it came to the release of the Pentagon Papers in 1971 during the Vietnam War.
Concerning the controversial memo, Gingrich claimed that "The real collusion was in the federal bureaucracy, not in the Kremlin," which is a "Chilling concept."
