Insider reports that Pramila Jayapal, Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair, withdrew the controversial letter to the president on Oct.
25.
Jayapal claims that the letter was written months ago and "unfortunately was released by staff without vetting.".
Jayapal took responsibility for the letter's release after withdrawing it.
