Controversial Nunes Memo Released Following Formal Approval From Trump
President Trump joined his Republican allies on Friday in piling on with attacks about "bias" in the FBI and the Justice Department as Washington, D.C., waited on tenterhooks for the release of a controversial secret spying memo.
The White House said Trump reviewed the memo and approved its full declassification. The House Intelligence Committee then posted it online.
Trump said the memo confirmed bad conduct by his enemies inside the federal law enforcement world.
"I think it's terrible. It's a disgrace what's going on in this country," Trump told reporters. "When you look at that, and you see that, a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves and much worse than that."
The FBI and Justice Department both are led by leaders nominated by Trump and confirmed by Republican majorities in the Senate. But the president and his allies say those same agencies are out to get him. He made that case on Twitter earlier in the day.
Trump tried to draw a line, however, in saying workday G-men and G-women aren't part of this: "Rank & File are great people!" he wrote. - More, NPR
