5:04 pm
of being biased against him while investigating his alleged links to russia in a tweet in the last couple of hours donald trump wrote the top leadership and investigators of the f.b.i. the justice department have politicized the sacred investigative process in favor of democrats against republicans something which would have been unthinkable just a short time ago rank and file are great people he said when the white house is expected to release a controversial memo on how those two agencies investigated alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen election al-jazeera as alan fischer reports from washington. the memo has dominated talk in washington for days donald trump was even asked about it as he left his state of the union speech something like one hundred i know that the four page memo was written by republicans on the house intelligence committee it alleges a misuse of power by the f.b.i. and justice department under the obama administration while investigating the truck
5:05 pm
campaign during the u.s. election the f.b.i. issued a written statement arguing that there were important details left out which would fundamentally impact the memos accuracy and the justice department says releasing the document would be extraordinarily reckless it's the president who must make the ultimate decision to declassify and release but no after a national security review the white house is blanked out some parts of the document and sent it back to the committee it can no be published at any time at a gathering of republicans in west virginia the president made no fresh mention of the memo but afterwards speaking to the media the public and leadership defended the idea of its release this. is not indictment of the f.b.i. of the department of justice it does not impugn the moeller investigation or the deputy attorney general what it is is the congress's legitimate function of oversight democrats have argued the release of the memo over their own objections are all part of
5:06 pm
a campaign to undermine the investigation into alleged russian meddling in the presidential election in fact the leading democrat in the house has called on the republican chairman of the intelligence committee devon is to be removed in a letter to speaker paul ryan nancy pelosi says congressman is has abused his position to launch a highly unethical and dangerous cover up campaign for the white house congressman nunez deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as chairman and he must be removed immediately from this position leading democrats on the committee says the row doesn't serve the american people the memo is seriously misleading because it omits very material information and has deep factual inaccuracy this knew this was part of the trump transition team and last year recused himself from leaving the russian vest a geisha now he will decide if he will release the memo that he wrote on an inquiry which continues to divide washington and the country alan fischer al-jazeera
5:07 pm
washington let's hear now from a serious white house correspondent kimberly how could his life for us in washington so kimberly the president has been tweeting in the early morning there in washington making these accusations against the leadership of the f.b.i. what are we to make of that. well i think what we're to make of it is that essentially the president is doubling down on his accusations against the department of justice and the f.b.i. currently run by his political appointees so it really is remarkable that the president is going up in direct defiance against those that he put in place to run those intelligence and justice agencies that's the first thing of note but the second thing that's really significant in all of this is that essentially the president is really running a risk that this could backfire in terms of the level of expectation that is now out there it may not have the explosive impact of the president is hoping for when
5:08 pm
ultimately this is released you heard and alan fisher's report there the speaker of the house paul ryan suggesting that in fact this is not sort of a damning condom day ssion as many republicans and conservatives in the united states are hoping so there may not be the explosive impact the president is looking for so in terms of political calculation this could be a mistake for the president he certainly has been urged also at the national security level that this would be a mistake to release but it appears at this hour the white house still pressing ahead with making this public and aside from the political fallout here kimberly the implications for civil liberties. well this is long been a contentious issue in the united states this process of obtaining a warrant to surveil under the foreign service intelligence act this is sort of the crux of this memo that the president is alleging that this department of justice the f.b.i.
5:09 pm
that senior law enforcement officials essentially abuse their privileges and essentially worst spying for political purposes so almost weapon i think tools that are meant for national security that is what many expect will come out of this but the sort of process itself has long been secret americans have been concerned about that and the undesired effect of releasing this could be in fact that americans will now have a spotlight shot in the process and be deeply concerned about how this impacts their civil liberties something they've long feared kelly many thanks i was there as white house correspondent kelly hellcat there in washington. the driver of a van who rammed his vehicle into a crowd of outside a mosque in london last year has been jailed for forty three is down on his board was convicted of murder attempted murder one man died and night others were injured at finsbury park prosecutors say that osborne was motivated by hatred of muslims
