Fox News Digital obtained a memo from White House deputy press secretary and senior communications adviser Andrew Bates titled: "Extreme House Republicans threaten to shut down the government unless their extreme agenda is followed."
Bates starts the memo by referencing a series of sanctions the Biden Administration imposed against individuals and entities for their role in drug trafficking.
