(Photo: AP)US President Donald Trump is expected to approve the release of a controversial Republican memo that reportedly shows improper surveillance of one of his campaign aides, which the FBI says is “inaccurate”. The approval for release of such a memo, which is being opposed by the FBI, could come as soon as tonight. Once Trump gives his approval, it would be up to the House intelligence committee to take a final call on the report’s release. House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes is under pressure from the opposition Democrats and some of his own Republican lawmakers not to release the memo. A top Democrat lawmaker, Adam Schiff, who is also a ranking member of the intelligence committee, has accused Nunes of altering the memo.
