The FBI director is reported to have urged Donald Trump not to release the GOP memo. Trump has read the classified House Intelligence Committee memo that Republicans claim describes FBI anti-Trump bias and will send it back to Congress for release to the public by Friday, two other White House officials said. The White House has reviewed the memo to make sure it doesn’t reveal too much classified information, the third official said. FBI director Christopher Wray urged Trump not to release the memo, according to a person familiar with that matter. White House spokesman Raj Shah said that “as of now” the House will be responsible for releasing the memo because it’s a legislative document.
