House Republicans Vote to Release Secret Memo on Russia Probe- Miadora Ibanez

Summary- this evening, Republicans on the House of Intelligence Committee voted to release a memorandum (written message- in business or diplomacy) that was said to have accused the department and the FBI of misusing their authority to obtain a secret surveillance order on a former Trump campaign associate. This created major conflict during the presidential election of 2016 even more. Now the issue, President Trump has 5 days to review the document and decide whether to make it public or not. However in most cases where lawmakers try to declassify information it can take months or even years.

Analysis- this conflict seems to grow everyday with just more light shed on the topic, and I think it's truly sad that this is happening in our government system.

    It’s crazy that a year later we are still finding out things about Trumps campaign. I wonder if we would ever actually find out the full truth. I hope that they realize the facts no matter how long it takes.
