Trump's reported decision comes a day after the FBI in an unusual move went public urging against release of the memo. Some White House official fear that this might result in the resignation of FBI Director Christopher Wray. The potential release of the memo has set up a standoff with Trump against both the FBI and Department of Justice. In a separate statement, FBI Agents Association (FBIAA) president Thomas O'Connor opposed the release of the memo. "The FBI Agents Association appreciates FBI Director Chris Wray standing shoulder to shoulder with the men and women of the FBI as we work together to protect our country from criminal and national security threats," said O'Connor.
