Trump White House blocks release of Democratic memo

What comes next: "The President has directed that Justice Department personnel be available to give technical assistance to the Committee...The Executive Branch stands ready to review any subsequent draft...for declassification at the earlier opportunity."

What the memo says: University of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias told the Washington Post that the memo will "almost singularly be focused on building back the FBI's credibility."

• It's a response to the Republican memo which alleges FBI bias against Trump.
• The Post says the memo will detail "how long the FBI's Russia investigation had been going on before the [Steele] dossier was published."
