The US Congress has released a highly contentious memo alleging that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) had abused power in investigations of Donald Trump’s election campaign.
The memo from the GOP and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes accuses the two organizations of spying on a former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page.
It criticizes information law enforcement officials used in their application for a warrant to wiretap Page, naming the senior FBI and DOJ officials who approved the warrant.
In a statement, Page, who served as a foreign policy adviser, said, “The brave and assiduous oversight by Congressional leaders in discovering this unprecedented abuse of process represents a giant, historic leap in the repair of America’s democracy.”
