Schiff Memo by National Content Desk on Scribd

The heavily redacted memo, released two weeks after President Donald Trump blocked it, was authored by ranking Intelligence Committee Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) in response to one by House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), and disputes allegations that questionable tactics were used to get warrants to surveil a former trump campaign aide.

Trump released the Nunes memo last montht, which contained information purporting to show that the FBI and DOJ did not provide complete information when requesting a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrant to watch one-time Trump campaign member Carter Page.
