What You Need To Know About The GOP Snooping Memo Controversy Enlarge this image toggle caption Mark Wilson/Getty Images Mark Wilson/Getty Images Updated at 9:31 a.m. It's a secret document prepared by the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif. No one knows precisely what it says – it's still classified – but it has been described as charging that the FBI and Justice Department abused their surveillance powers. Attorney General Jeff Sessions; White House senior adviser Jared Kushner; Trump's son Donald Trump Jr.; campaign chairman Paul Manafort; and foreign policy advisers Carter Page, George Papadopoulos and Mike Flynn and others had contacts with Russians. The FBI said on Wednesday that the Nunes memo that underpins this narrative leaves out key details: "We have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy," a statement said. Nunes, as critics like Holder say, is using a privileged position with access to government secrets – as House Intelligence Committee chairman – to throw rocks at the FBI and protect President Trump.
