White House chief of staff John Kelly suggested on Wednesday that the release of controversial memo spearheaded by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) is imminent.
"It will be…pretty quick, I think, and the whole world can see it," Kelly reportedly told Fox News Radio. He also noted that prior to its release, the document would undergo a review process. The Washington Post reports that President Trump, who as of Tuesday morning had reportedly not yet read the memo, has been a big proponent of making it public. After giving his State of the Union address on Tuesday evening, he was caught on camera giving assurances that he will "100 percent" support its publication. Among the document's reported assertions is that the FBI used unsubstantiated information from the famous Christopher Steele dossier to obtain a warrant for the monitoring of Trump campaign staffer Carter Page, notes the Post. Critics are calling the memo nothing more than an effort to discredit both the Russia investigation and the FBI by proving the bureau holds a bias against President Trump, reports Axios. According to inside sources, FBI director Christopher Wray is among those opposed to the memo's release due to its inaccuracies and presentation of a false narrative.
