The memos themselves still haven't been published, but according to The Hill, officials familiar with them confirmed the content as classified. They have been turned over to Special Counsel Bob Mueller as part of his investigation into Russian meddling during the 2016 presidential election.
More than half of the memos former FBI Director James Comey wrote as personal recollections of his conversations with President Trump about the Russia investigation have been determined to contain classified information, according to interviews with officials familiar with the documents.
