Two senior FBI officials have now reviewed a controversial Republican staff
memo alleging abuses of government surveillance programs during the 2016
presidential campaign, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News –
adding that the officials “could not point to any factual inaccuracies.”
The two officials – one from the bureau’s counterintelligence division and
the other from the legal division – followed up after an initial review of
the memo during a rare Sunday trip to Capitol Hill by FBI Director
Christopher Wray.
The House Intelligence Committee voted late Monday along party lines to
release the memo, prompting a backlash from Democratic lawmakers. Top
Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff called it a “very sad day.” President Trump
has five working days to review the contents but is widely expected not to
block its release.
After the contentious committee vote Monday night, the source confirmed that
House staffers physically took the memo over to the White House for the
president. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/01/30/fbi-officials-review-surveillance-memo-could-not-cite-any-factual-inaccuracies-source.html
