A much-hyped memo that shows alleged government surveillance abuse during the 2016 campaign has been released to the public and cites testimony from a high-ranking government official who says the FBI and DOJ would not have sought surveillance warrants to spy on a member of the Trump team without the infamous, Democrat-funded anti-Trump dossier, Fox News reported.

Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee released the memo Friday.

The White House responded by saying the memo “raises serious concerns about the integrity of decisions made at the highest levels of the

Department of Justice and the FBI to use the government’s most intrusive surveillance tools against American citizens.”
The release of the four-page memo comes after the Intelligence Committee voted earlier this week, over Democratic objections, to make the document public.

Republicans have charged that the FBI used the dubious dossier, prepared as campaign opposition research for Clinton’s presidential bid, to get permission from the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, court to eavesdrop on Trump campaign and transition team communications.

The memo states that in December 2017, then FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe testified that “no surveillance warrant would have been sought” from the FISA court “without the Steele dossier information.”
