Top Democrats in the House and Senate on Saturday praised the release of their party's rebuttal to a memo from Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee purporting to detail surveillance abuses by the Justice Department against the Trump campaign.
In a series of statements, Democratic leaders said that their version of the memo, authored by Democrats on the committee led by ranking member Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), debunked claims made by Republicans and exposed inaccuracies in the GOP memo.
In his statement, Schiff said his research should "put to rest" accusations of wrongdoing by the FBI, Justice Department, or Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Courts (FISC).
