Chief of staff John Kelly told President Trump that he doesn’t believe the GOP classified memo alleging wrongdoing at the Department of Justice lives up to the standard GOP lawmakers had told Trump it would, according to The Washington Post.
Kelly delivered the memo to Trump on Wednesday, and the pair briefly discussed it before Trump read the document.
However, later that day, Kelly told Trump that making the memo public wouldn’t risk national security but that he didn’t believe the claims included in the document were as damning as GOP lawmakers had told Trump they would be, The Post reported.
The memo claims that the FBI and Department of Justice abused a warrantless surveillance program to survey former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
