美国有线新闻 CNN 美共和党公开通俄门调查备忘录 特朗普与FBI撕破脸

 

CARL AZUZ, CNN 10 ANCHOR: A controversial memo¹ released by the U.S. government is the first story we're explaining today on CNN 10. It's related to investigations³ into whether Russia interfered⁴ with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and whether people who worked in the campaign of President Donald Trump⁵ inappropriately coordinated⁶ with Russia.

The Trump administration says there was no collusion with Russia, and Russia has repeatedly denied meddling⁷ in the American election. But the U.S. Federal Bureau of investigation², the FBI, has been investigating this and so have intelligence committees in the Senate and the House of Representatives. Republicans with the House committee produced a four-page memo and released it on Friday after President Donald Trump declassified⁸ it. And politicians wrestled⁹ with it and each other throughout the weekend.

There's a controversial law in the U.S. that allows the government to spy on American citizens. To do that, investigators¹⁰ need court approval. They have to show the court there's probable cause that the U.S. citizen is working with the foreign government. In October of 2016, American government investigators got court approval to start spying on an adviser¹¹ to Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

But the Republican memo says that the information that investigators used to show the court probable cause was not proven to be true, that it came from a former British spy who is quote, desperate that Donald Trump not get elected, and that the info was partially¹² paid for by the Democratic National Committee and the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee¹³ Hillary Clinton.

The memo says investigators did not tell this to the court. So, Republicans say government investigators abused their power to spy on Donald Trump's campaign and President Trump says it totally vindicates¹⁴ him in the Russia investigations and that the fact that they continue is an American disgrace. But the FBI says it has grave concerns about the memo, specifically, quote, material omissions¹⁵ of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy. Its probe started in July of 2016, months before the court allowed spying on the Trump adviser.

And Democrats¹⁶ say the memo is misleading and that it highlights only part of the reason why U.S. investigators were monitoring the Trump campaign, suggesting there's more evidence to suspect it had inappropriate contact with Russia. They say the memo's release is a Republican attempt to obstruct¹⁷ and undermine the FBI's Russia investigation.

The two main U.S. political parties are deeply divided over this memo, and wherever it leads, investigators say there's not much chance now, at least in the House Intelligence Committee that Democrats and Republicans will be working together going forward.
