it so problematic on an investigation that needs to be seen as credible and fair by all americans. phil, you know there is a big question here too about whether devon nunes coordinated with the white house which would completely change this whole thing, if that s possible. but it would make it much worse. during the house intelligence committee, where the members voted on release the nunes memo. congressman quigley pushed him whether he had talked to the white house. this is crucial question. i wanted to play this exchange according to a transcript. sorry. let me read it. congressman quigley says was any of this done, after, during conversations or consultations with anyone in the white house, referring to the memo. nunes, i would just answer, as far as i know, no. now of course nunes himself didn t write the memo. his staff did. because he didn t read the background information. so when he was pushed about whether any of his staff consulted with the white house, nunes responds, the ch
and fbi. release a memo by nunes allege fbi abuse of surveillance during the russian investigation related to the trump campaign as soon as tomorrow. but fbi led by trump choice wray is urging them to reconsider damage by release. out front republican from new york who sits on the house foreign affairs committee. congressman, i appreciate your time. thank you. i know you have had a clans to read the memo. cathedr called for the president to release it. now the fbi has said with christopher wray himself grave concerns. trump department saying it could be reckless to release it. do you think the fbi and justice department are both wrong? they were wrong as it relates to the fisa abuse. and it would make sense that there would be people at the doj and fbi that wouldn t want this memo to go out because it s
from the largest financial markets to the smallest transactions, by sensing cyber-attacks in near real time and automatically deploying countermeasures. keeping the world of business connected and protected. that s the power of and. breaking news, two administration officials telling cnn that president trump could release the controversial nunes memo as early as tomorrow. alleging surveillance abuse by highest levels of fbi during the 2016 election during the russian investigation is still being reviewed. jeff zeleny out at the white house. what is your thinking of the memo? obviously he had said 100% to congressman last night who asked him and that s been the entire talk of the white house but he hasn t done it yetment and if he does, what s the time line. reporter: erin, he did not
pledge. and it may be that he understood the question from congressman jeffries to be prior to being hired. since, remember, one of the things that s been a problem here is suggestions that the president asked for example andrew mccabe when interviewing him to the fbi director for whom he had voted in 2016. so i would give rod rosenstein the benefit of the doubt in this case. okay. so you are not worried about that. the fbi has said when it comes to this memo they don t want it out, gop, nunes memo, because it admits facts and inaccurate. now i ve spoken to a democrat and republican who have seen the memo and background material upon which it is based. they agree that that background material should not be released. obviously do not agree on the nunes memo and whether it s accurate. my question to you, senator, do you think it s possible the fbi does not want this memo or source material out because there was a mistake made at the highest levels in the fbi in the
classified information that american people deserved to see. are you worried he might be wrong? this fight over this one thing can start this flood put this out there and all of a sudden you do have a real compromise in the system? well, i mean i ve read both memos. the majority memo that was written, by the way, you just referred to it as the nunes memo. he didn t read it. it was drafted by another member of the committee with staffers, but chairman nunes did not write this particular memo. that s why it s more majority memo. as far as the contents of the memo, it is not revealing any good sources and methods. in the schiff memo, if they want to change any of the wording around to make the same exact point, but without revealing, there are certain details, by the way, the scope of the schiff memo, this is beyond the fisa
