President Donald Trump has now seen a classified memo prepared by House intelligence committee Democrats in the panel's probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Trump also has met with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein over the matter.

So says White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Sanders says Trump's legal and national security teams are reviewing the memo and will brief him on their findings once the review is concluded.

The House intelligence committee voted Monday to release the memo, which pushes back against a GOP document released last week. The Republican memo criticizes methods the FBI used to obtain a surveillance warrant on a one-time Trump campaign associate.

Trump has until the end of the week to decide whether to allow the Democratic memo's release.

President Donald Trump has not read a classified memo prepared by House intelligence committee Democrats in the panel's probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

That's according to White House chief of staff John Kelly.

Kelly told reporters gathered at the White House for an event with Trump on Tuesday afternoon that he had just given the president the memo.

Kelly says it's pretty lengthy.

The committee voted Monday to release the memo, which pushes back against a GOP document the committee cleared for release last week. The Republican memo criticizes methods the FBI used to obtain a surveillance warrant on a one-time Trump campaign associate.

The White House is reviewing the Democratic memo. Trump has until the end of the week to decide whether to allow its release.

The White House says it has a classified memo prepared by Democrats on the House intelligence committee in the panel's probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The committee voted unanimously Monday to release the memo. The memo pushes back against a GOP document the committee cleared for release last week that criticizes the methods the FBI used to obtain a surveillance warrant on a one-time Trump campaign associate.

The Democratic document attempts to counter arguments and evidence presented by committee Republicans.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders says the Democratic memo will go through the same legal and national security review as the GOP memo, which was released last week.

President Donald Trump now has five days to decide whether to allow the Democratic memo to be released.

The House intelligence committee has voted to release a second classified memo about whether the FBI and Justice Department conspired against President Donald Trump.

Democrats on the panel wrote the memo in an effort to counter some of the arguments and evidence put forward by Republicans in a document of their own, declassified by Trump last week. The GOP memo criticizes the methods the FBI used to obtain a surveillance warrant on a onetime Trump campaign associate.

Trump has five days to decide whether to allow the Democratic memo's publication.

The battle of classified memos has further deepened the partisan divide on the House committee investigating Russian election meddling and possible connections between Russia and the Trump presidential campaign.
