Donald Trump has lashed out at the Russia investigation in a Saturday morning tweet storm that accused the Democrats of trying to blame him for not releasing a memo that defends the Federal Bureau of Investigation from claims of bias.
“Peoples lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. Some are true and some are false. Some are old and some are new,” Mr Trump tweeted. “There is no recovery for someone falsely accused - life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process?”
His tweets came the day after he refused to declassify a memo written by Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee, that rebuts the FBI accusations in a rival document produced by Devin Nunes, the Republican head of the panel. Mr Trump released the Nunes memo last week over the objections of the FBI which said his action would be “extremely reckless”.
