INTERNATIONAL NEWS - The FBI has publicly challenged a push by Republican lawmakers to release a controversial memo which purports to show anti-Trump bias at the agency.
"We have grave concerns about the material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy," the FBI said in a statement.
The White House has reportedly indicated that it could be published on Thursday.
Democrats claim the memo is an attempt to discredit the FBI-led Russia probe.
The White House has to approve the top-secret memo's release.
"It will be released here pretty quick, I think, and the whole world can see it," White House chief of staff John Kelly said during an interview with Fox News Radio on Wednesday.
Hours later, the FBI issued a rare statement saying that it had had "limited opportunity" to review the document before the House Intelligence committee voted to release it on Monday.
