[Reuters]The FBI said on Wednesday it had “grave concerns” about the accuracy of a top-secret House Intelligence Committee memo alleging anti-Trump bias within the Justice Department, challenging President Donald Trump’s pledge to release it. “As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.”The FBI declined to say if Director Christopher Wray, who viewed the memo during the weekend, approved the statement. Justice Department officials have also said releasing the memo could jeopardize classified information. Representative Devin Nunes, the intelligence committee’s Republican chairman who commissioned the document, dismissed the FBI and Justice Department objections to its release as “spurious” in a statement on Wednesday. A White House official said the four-page document was delivered to the White House on Monday after the Republican-dominated committee voted to release it.
