I think it’s a disgrace,” Trump said after he approved the release. White House spokesman Raj Shah said the document has been transmitted to the minority and majority members in the House Intelligence Committee. The FBI issued a rare public warning on Wednesday that the memo omits key information that could impact its veracity. The tweet also puts Trump squarely on the side of the Republican lawmakers who view the memo as a document that exposes the nefarious designs of the FBI.
