Paul Ryan on Tuesday issued a statement slamming the Obama administration's strategy to "attack" and compromise his national defense bill legislation.
The Pentagon issued a memo back in May, encouraging "hardball" tactics on Ryan's defense proposal and suggesting "public and private pressure" to ensure the bill is not passed.
"For this administration, it's always politics first, even at the Pentagon," Ryan wrote. "This memo details with relish a plan to use a presidential veto of a defense bill as a 'weapon.'
"It's shameless, and it threatens more than five decades of bipartisan cooperation to enact a national defense bill for our troops. The men and women who defend our country deserve better."
