The network announced the “exclusive live interview tonight” in a statement, saying Baier and Nunes will “discuss the release of the [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] memo and reaction to the declassification of the document.”

The House Intelligence Committee in an unprecedented move released the previously classified memo that alleges abuse of government surveillance powers by the Justice Department in obtaining warrants of Trump campaign officials, including Carter Page.

“The Committee has discovered serious violations of the public trust, & the American people have a right to know when officials in crucial institutions are abusing their authority for political purposes," Nunes said in a statement.

The Justice Department and FBI have both expressed staunch opposition to the memo's release, citing potential misconception of internal processes and the possibility of exposing intelligence sources and methods.
