UPDATE: Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, said in a press conference Monday night that seeing the memo did not assuage Wray's concerns. He added that Rep. Nunes rejected Wray's request to have both the FBI and DOJ brief the committee prior to moving to release the memo.
Politico reports that Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC) encouraged House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) to show his controversial four-page memo, which Gowdy helped write, to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Nunes and Wray reportedly met to review the document Sunday night. Rosenstein was not included.
In their meeting, Nunes told Wray he could flag any factual errors, national security concerns or material that could put FBI sources at risk, according to the sources.
Republicans on the House intelligence panel appear poised to vote Monday in favor of releasing the secret memo, which Democrats say is misleading and mischaracterizes classified information in an attempt to distract from special counsel Robert Mueller's probe. The push to publish it only a day after sharing it with the FBI director — who was appointed by President Donald Trump — reflects the extent of the House GOP’s suspicions toward the bureau, as well as the influence of Republicans outside Congress who pressed to make the document public.
