Washington (CNN) House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi expressed alarm Monday that House Republicans moved to release a memo alleging FBI abuse of surveillance powers, accusing House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes of misleading the public. "What they're putting forth is a total misrepresentation. It is false," Pelosi told CNN's Chris Cuomo. Pelosi said that because the dispute was over classified information, she was unable to prove her claim that the GOP memo paints a false picture about the activity of the intelligence community. "In order to refute it, you'd have to tell the facts, and the facts are classified," Pelosi said.
