When Will Trump Release The FISA Memo?

President Donald Trump has approved the release of a classified memo compiled by House Republicans on the intelligence committee, clearing the way for its release Friday, multiple outlets report.

House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes assembled the memo with fellow Intel committee members and staff based on classified information turned over by the FBI and the DOJ. NEW: President expected this morning to approve release of controversial Nunes memo challenging origins of Russia investigation.

The memo will be released with some technical redactions requested by the FBI who continue to object to the document's release.

House rules dictate that the legislature can vote to declassify material in the public interest stipulating the president must approve its release within 5 days.

After the president's approval the memo will be transferred back to the House permanent select committee on intelligence who will then publicly release it.

Trump reviewed the memo after the committee voted to declassify the memo Monday.

Administration officials insisted the memo was undergoing a thorough national security review before any decision on its release.
