CNN News: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 memo released by the U.S. government is the first story we're explaining today on cnn 10. It's related to investigations into whether Russia interfered with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and whether people who worked in the campaign of President Donald Trump inappropriately coordinated with Russia.
The Trump administration says there was no collusion with Russia, and Russia has repeatedly denied meddling in the American election. But the U.S. Federal Bureau of investigation, 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 declassified it. And politicians wrestled 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, investigators 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 adviser 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 partially paid for by the Democratic National Committee and the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee 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 vindicates 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 omissions 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 Democrats 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 obstruct 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.
