Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee ripped the controversial memo alleging surveillance at the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday, saying is mischaracterizes and fails to provide important context.
“The Republican document mischaracterizes highly sensitive classified information that few Members of Congress have seen, and which Chairman Nunes himself chose not to review," the minority said in a statement.
"It fails to provide vital context and information contained in DOJ’s FISA application and renewals, and ignores why and how the FBI initiated, and the Special Counsel has continued, its counterintelligence investigation into Russia’s election interference and links to the Trump campaign," the statement continued.
