Democratic congressional candidate Andrew Janz said in a recent interview that his campaign was boosted by the release of a previously classified GOP memo crafted for his opponent, Rep. Devin Nunes Devin Gerald NunesSunday shows preview: With less than two months to go, race for the White House heats up Sunday shows preview: Republicans gear up for national convention, USPS debate continues in Washington Sunday shows preview: White House, congressional Democrats unable to breach stalemate over coronavirus relief MORE (R-Calif.).

“We’re looking really good, thanks to him,” Janz told Politico.

“While he’s engaged in all those antics in Washington, people here are struggling,” Janz added. “He hasn’t done squat for this district.”

The four-page memo, released Friday, accuses senior Justice Department officials of improperly using information from the controversial "Steele dossier" — which originated as an opposition research document during the 2016 campaign — to obtain surveillance warrants on Carter Page, a member of the Trump transition team and former Trump campaign adviser.

While Republicans, including Nunes, have argued the memo proves bias against President Trump Donald John TrumpHR McMaster says president's policy to withdraw troops from Afghanistan is 'unwise' Cast of 'Parks and Rec' reunite for virtual town hall to address Wisconsin voters Biden says Trump should step down over coronavirus response MORE within the Justice Department, Democrats have bashed the document as misleading and an attempt to undermine the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Last week, it was discovered that the URL www.nunesmemo.com redirects to Janz’s campaign site. Janz said he was not behind the redirect.

A campaign spokesperson for Janz also confirmed to The Hill that the Democrat's campaign raised $111,506 over last Thursday and Friday.

Despite his recent boost in fundraising and visibility, Janz still lacks the same financial resources as his opponent.

Nunes has nearly $4 million in cash on hand for his campaign, while Janz had just $85,000 at the end of December.

Nunes’s district leans strongly Republican, and Trump won it by near double-digits.
