Rep. Mike Conaway , who is currently leading the House Intelligence Committee's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, told CNN this week that he doesn't see any need for Congress to scrutinize loans given by Deutsche Bank to President Donald Trump on the grounds that it isn't a Russian bank. "I don't see the link at this stage," Conaway said, referring to calls to examine whether the Deutsche Bank loans establish financial links between Trump and Russia.
Washington D.C. [United States], Feb.25 : The US House Intelligence Committee has released a classified Democratic memo in redacted form that counters Republicans' claims that the Federal Bureau of Investigation abused government surveillance powers in its Russia probe. The Democratic memo was released after days of negotiations between committee Democrats and the Justice Department over redactions of classified material.
In the battle of the classified memos in the House Intelligence Committee, both sides have now had their say on whether the FBI and Justice Department acted inappropriately as they began investigating President Donald Trump's ties to Russia. A Democratic memo that was declassified Saturday, with sections blacked out and after weeks of delays, aimed to defend the FBI and Justice Department's conduct.
Two weeks after President Donald Trump blocked its full release, the House Intelligence Committee published a blacked out version of a classified Democratic memo aiming to counter a GOP narrative that the FBI and Justice Department conspired against Trump as they investigated his ties to Russia. The document's release Saturday was the latest development in an extraordinary back and forth between Republicans and Democrats about the credibility of multiple inquiries into links between the Trump campaign and Russia, and the integrity of the top U.S. law enforcement agencies.
President Donald Trump joined Judge Jeanine Pirro on Saturday night by phone. What he and Judge Janine didn't say is the hottest news item in the incredibly newsworthy interview.
Hours after a controversial memo was released Saturday as a rebuttal to serious allegations about the FBI, President Trump called into Fox News and said he felt the document "was a nothing" and merely verified allegations that the FBI had abused its power. "It was a nothing," he told Fox News host Jeanine Pirro.
Was the application to obtain a FISA surveillance warrant on former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page a major FBI and Justice Department abuse that amounted to politically motivated surveillance? Or was it the proper extension of an FBI counterintelligence investigation into Trump and Russia? Saturday's release of a Democratic House Intelligence Committee memo rebutting an earlier GOP memo alleging FBI abuse of the surveillance process shows just how diametrically opposed the committee's Democrats and Republicans are when it comes to the FISA surveillance of Page - and the origins of the larger investigation into Trump and Russia now led by special counsel Robert Mueller.
Democrats, in a rebuttal released Saturday to a controversial GOP memo , argued that the Justice Department and the FBI did not abuse their powers when they spied on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. The GOP memo, assembled by the staff of House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes, alleged the FBI and Justice Department officials relied on an unsubstantiated dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele to get a warrant to conduct surveillance of Page.
A redacted version of the Democratic response to a memo alleging that the FBI and Justice Department abused their power to conduct surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page was released Saturday. The 10-page document compiled by Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., pushes back on a number of claims Republicans made in a memo that was released earlier this month, throwing details of the FBI's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election into an almost he-said-she-said story.
Last week, Lawrence Tribe suggested, without evidence, that a plane crash in Russia was related to fallout from the Russian dossier operation orchestrated and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign. When it comes to the Russia-Trump collusion theory, a bit more journalistic rigor is in order.

Rep. Adam Schiff said Tuesday that he expects to reach an agreement in the next day or two with Justice Department officials on public release of a Democratic memo about surveillance and the Russia investigation. Schiff , the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, prepared the document as a rebuttal to an earlier memo drafted by aides to Rep. Devin Nunes, the panel's Republican chairman.

President Donald Trump says Russians are "laughing their asses off in Moscow" for the way Washington has handled the Russia investigations, following the Department of Justice's charges against Russian nationals last week for allegedly interfering in the 2016 election. "If it was the GOAL of Russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the U.S. then, with all of the Committee Hearings, Investigations and Party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
The Obama administrationA s muted response to the 2014 Sony hack may have laid the groundwork for RussiaA s meddling in the 2016 elections, a top Democrat argued Friday. Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said the previous administration should have established a "more forceful deterrent" against potential adversaries considering cyberattacks against the U.S. or its institutions.
Former top White House strategist Steve Bannon arrives Thursday on Capitol Hill for questioning by the House Intelligence Committee in its investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Bannon presented a list of 25 questions he would be willing to answer, all reportedly scripted by the White House and all with the answer "no."
U.S. President Donald Trump continued to rail against ongoing probes into ties between his campaign team and Russia on Twitter Sunday morning as he said that they are "laughing their asses off in Moscow." He began his tweet with: "If it was the GOAL of Russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the U.S. then, with all of the Committee Hearings, Investigations and Party hatred."
The House Intelligence Committee has scheduled a Thursday meeting to hear testimony from Steve Bannon -- but it's an open question whether President Donald Trump's former chief strategist will even show up. The White House sent a letter to Capitol Hill late Wednesday laying out its explanation for why Trump's transition period falls under its authority to assert executive privilege, a move intended to shield Bannon from answering questions about that time period, according to a person familiar with the discussions.
The senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said only special counsel Robert Mueller can decide if there's enough for criminal charges. WASHINGTON - There is "ample evidence" that the Trump campaign colluded with Russians, but only special counsel Robert Mueller can decide if it's enough to prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt, the senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said Wednesday.
