Dozens of Republicans called for the release of the GOP memo earlier this month that alleges improper surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Trump has said that the memo "totally vindicates" him in the Russia probe.

The Intelligence Committee voted earlier this week to release the Democratic-drafted response to the memo, which Trump objected to on Friday, leading a number of Democrats and some Republicans to criticize the move.

The White House said Trump "is inclined to declassify" the Democratic memo but the administration believes it would create “significant concerns” for “national security and law enforcement interests.”
