Trump for 'transparency' as House mulls memo release

Washington • The White House said Monday that President Donald Trump favors “full transparency” as Republicans on the House intelligence committee move toward an unprecedented vote on whether to release classified information to the public.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump hasn’t made a final decision on whether he would support the release of a memo that addresses a dossier on Trump and questions over whether it was used to obtain surveillance warrants. Many Republicans have pushed to release the classified memo as they have also asserted that some in the Justice Department and FBI have conspired against the president.
