President Trump claims FBI and justice chiefs have 'politicised' Russian probe

US president Donald Trump has accused the FBI and the justice department of bias over the Russian election meddling probe, claiming they had politicised "the sacred investigative process" in favour of Democrats and against Republicans.

White House officials said Mr Trump intends to approve the publication of a classified memo on the investigation written by Republicans who accuse the FBI of abusive surveillance tactics during the early stages of its probe.
