A memo alleging the FBI abused its surveillance authority became public on Friday after a push by House Republicans. President Trump authorized the memo's release, even after the FBI expressed "grave concerns" about the "accuracy" of the document, authored by House intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif.
NPR journalists who cover the Justice Department, the White House and national security have annotated the White House's authorization letter and the memo itself.
