House Speaker Paul Ryan said Thursday he supports an effort by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes to obtain documents related to the FBI’s use of the FISA surveillance law in connection with the Russia investigation.

“I think this request is wholly appropriate,” said Ryan, R-Wis. “It’s completely within the scope of the investigation that has been going on a while with respect to FISA. It’s something that probably should have been answered a while ago.”
