Pres. Trump will 'probably' release controversial House memo

U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to confirm to the House Intelligence Committee that it's OK with him to release the controversial Nunes memo as early as tomorrow (Friday in Washington).

The FBI has warned they have grave concerns about the memo, to the point that some are reporting FBI director Christopher Wray is seriously considering resigning over the growing political crisis.

The president sees the memo as evidence that the Russia investigation is nothing but a witch hunt.

The memo argues the evidence to grant a special wire tap of a Trump campaign aide (Carter Page) was tainted.

With the Democrats calling Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Paul Ryan to remove Devin Nunes as the chair of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, Speaker Ryan says he thinks the process should go forward.
