The House Intelligence Committee's top Democrat announced Wednesday that the committee had drafted a memo to counter the claims of Republicans on the panel that law enforcement officials are biased against the Trump administration.
Top Republicans on the committee, led by Chairman Devin Nunes (Calif.), have sought the release of a classified memo compiled by Nunes's staff saying the FBI and Justice Department abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act's wiretapping provisions.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the panel's ranking member, said Democrats had to draft their own memo "setting out the relevant facts and exposing the misleading character of the Republicans’ document" and to clear the air.
