Russia-Investigation: FBI turns against Trump

In US, re is a dispute about publication of a confidential notice of alleged misconduct by US Department of Justice and FBI. The report by Republican member Devin Nunes deals with methods in investigation of Trump's election campaign and its connections to Russia. The Republicans see this as evidence of unfair methods of federal police and voted with ir own majority in Secret Service Committee for publication of note.

This has now been criticized by FBI, which is openly against US president Donald Trump. The memo would conceal facts, according to New York Times, in a communication from federal Police. Also, re was too little time to examine accusations. Previously, Democrats had criticized memo as a distraction maneuver. They accuse Republicans of wanting to discredit work of investigator Mueller.

In four-page report by Nunes, according to US media reports, among or things, how FBI was given permission to monitor internet communication of Trump's campaign advisor Carter page. Page had close contacts to Russia. The Republican chairman of house, Paul Ryan, said re were "legitimate questions" as to wher surveillance had violated civil rights.

The President of House of Representatives, Republican Paul Ryan, rejected accusations of Democrats. Nunes's memo shows that some FBI staff might have been abused, said Ryan. However, publication should not be used to attack work of investigator Robert Mueller. There are two different things. Mueller's investigation must go on.

The note is currently at Trump, which has to decide on release. The US president said to a member on Tuesday evening in Capitol in passing that he would publish paper "100%". The short talk was accidentally captured by television cameras. Chief of staff John Kelly had spoken in a radio interview in a similar way on Wednesday.
