Republicans vote to release memo alleging government surveillance abuse despite security concernsRepublicans have voted to release a politically charged document they allege shows government abuse, forcing Donald Trump to decide whether to overrule the Department of Justice. The decision by the Republican majority of the House Intelligence Committee means the President will have to balance the demands of elected officials in his own party, who have mounted a public campaign for the memo’s release, against a Department of Justice plea urging against it. Mr Trump must decide within five days whether to make the classified memorandum public.
