The House Intelligence Committee voted unanimously on Monday to release a classified memo written by Democrats as a rebuttal to the document compiled for Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and released last week. The Nunes memo purports to show that the FBI mishandled the warrant application to monitor one of President Trump's campaign advisers. Trump now has five days to decide if he will block the release of the Democratic rebuttal. The committee's top Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), said Nunes refused to say if he coordinated with the White House while crafting the memo, and he accused Republicans of putting the FBI and Justice Department on trial, which "very ill serves the public, and we hope they will stop."
