Nunes memo

A four-page memo was written by Republican staff members for Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, that alleges that the Federal Bureau of Investigation "may have relied on politically motivated or questionable sources" to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant in the early phases of the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. The #ReleaseTheMemo social media campaign emerged in mid-January 2018 during the ongoing Special Counsel investigation advocating the release of the memo. The hashtag was used by Mark Meadows and other House conservatives before it spread virally. Hamilton 68, a project started by Clint Watts, alleged Russian-linked bots on Twitter helped spread the controversial hashtag.

Shortly after becoming a trending topic, the memo drew polarizing reactions from government officials and the media, generally along party lines. The Justice Department (DOJ) released a letter to Congress calling a release of the memo reckless without letting the FBI review it because it could expose intelligence sources and methods, while President Donald Trump called for its public release. FBI Director Christopher A. Wray was allowed to review the memo and did so on January 28. On January 29, the majority of the House Intelligence Committee voted to approve its release. The Republicans also voted against making public a competing memo Democrats had crafted, according to Adam Schiff. The group also rejected a proposal to give the Justice Department and FBI more time to vet the Republican document but the President has five days to review it before it can be released.
