WASHINGTON - A GOP memo alleging surveillance abuses by the FBI has been released, intensifying a fight between the White House and Republican lawmakers, on one side, and the nation's top law enforcement agency over whether the origins of a probe into Russian interference in 2016 were tainted by political bias. President Donald Trump had approved release of the memo without redactions Friday morning. The president told reporters in the Oval Office, "I think it's a disgrace what's happening in our country. . . . A lot of people should be ashamed of themselves and much worse than that." The FBI and the Justice Department had lobbied strenuously against the memo's release.
