Congress releases redacted Democrats memo on FBI surveillance in Russia probe

The US House intelligence committee has published a redacted version of a declassified memo which aims to counter allegations by the Republicans the FBI abused government surveillance powers in its investigation into Russian election interference.

The Democratic memo's release yesterday was the latest development in an extraordinary back and forth between Republicans and Democrats about the credibility of not only the multiple inquiries into links between the Trump campaign and Russia, but also about the credibility of the nation's top law enforcement agencies.
